Table with merged cells, multi-index and text wrap
0
I'd like to have a table that looks like this. Here's a link to open the image in another tab.
What matters to me is the structure. The formatting is just to show what I'd like to stand out from the rest in some way.
How do I:
- Make sure text is wrapped when the data has over a specific length.
- Use a multicolumn for the bottom right cells, as per the image?
Here's what I have:
documentclass[11pt]{article}
usepackage{multirow}
begin{document}
% Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.
begin{table}[ht]
begin{center}
begin{tabular}{cccc}
hline
multirow{2}{*}{Outer index 1} & Inner index 1.1 & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\
& Inner index 1.2 & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\
hline
multirow{2}{*}{Outer index 2} & Inner index 2.1 & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\
& Inner index 2.2 & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\

end{tabular}
end{center}
end{table}
end{document}
Better formatting is welcome. Feel free to add your own touch.

The following includes:
tabularxforXtype columns and a table that fits the textwidth
multicolumnfor the cells spanning 2 columns- adjusted values of
multirowto vertically center the text in the first column - replaced
centerenvironment bycenteringas the former adds additional white space around the table
used horizontal lines from the
booktabspackage for improved spacing.
documentclass[11pt]{article}

usepackage{geometry}
usepackage{tabularx}
usepackage{booktabs}
usepackage{ragged2e}
begin{document}
begin{table}[ht]
centering
begin{tabularx}{textwidth}{cc>{RaggedRightarraybackslash}X>{RaggedRightarraybackslash}X}
toprule
multirow{6}{*}{Outer index 1} & Inner index 1.1 & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\
& Inner index 1.2 & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\

bottomrule
end{tabularx}
end{table}
end{document}
Here, I have also used multirow for the contents of the second column:
documentclass[11pt]{article}
usepackage{multirow}
usepackage{geometry}
usepackage{tabularx}
usepackage{booktabs}
usepackage{ragged2e}
begin{document}

midrule
multirow{9}{*}{Outer index 3} & multirow{3}{*}{Inner index 3.1} & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\
& multirow{3}{*}{Inner index 3.2} & multicolumn{2}{>{hsize=dimexpr2hsize+2tabcolsep+arrayrulewidthrelaxRaggedRightarraybackslash}X}{Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.}\

bottomrule
end{tabularx}
end{table}
end{document}
In oder to vertically center the text in the second column, you could also use the makecell package in combination with vertically centered X type columns as shown in the following MWE:
documentclass[11pt]{article}
usepackage{multirow}
usepackage{geometry}
usepackage{tabularx}
usepackage{booktabs}
usepackage{ragged2e}
usepackage{makecell}
renewcommand{tabularxcolumn}[1]{m{#1}}
begin{document}
begin{table}[ht]
centering
begin{tabularx}{textwidth}{cc>{RaggedRightarraybackslash}X>{RaggedRightarraybackslash}X}
toprule
multirow{6}{*}{Outer index 1} & makecell[cc]{Inner index 1.1} & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\
& makecell[cc]{Inner index 1.2} & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\
midrule
multirow{6}{*}{Outer index 2} & makecell[cc]{Inner index 2.1} & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\
& makecell[cc]{Inner index 2.2} & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\
midrule
multirow{9}{*}{Outer index 3} & makecell[cc]{Inner index 3.1} & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\
& makecell[cc]{Inner index 3.2} & multicolumn{2}{>{hsize=dimexpr2hsize+2tabcolsep+arrayrulewidthrelaxRaggedRightarraybackslash}X}{Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.}\
& makecell[cc]{Inner index 3.3} & multicolumn{2}{>{hsize=dimexpr2hsize+2tabcolsep+arrayrulewidthrelaxRaggedRightarraybackslash}X}{ Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.}\
bottomrule
end{tabularx}
end{table}
end{document}

Thanks! Is there a way to vertically center the first two columns?
– whoami
Mar 20 at 16:29
For the contents of the second column usemultirow{3}{*}{<your text>}. If you add more rows you might need to adjust the number in the first argument ofmultirowin the first column accordingly.
– leandriis
Mar 20 at 16:32
Isn't that what is already being done? They aren't centered for me.
– whoami
Mar 20 at 17:51
@whoami: I have added a second MWE showing how to vertically center the contents of the second column. I have also added images of the output I obtain from the two different examples.
– leandriis
Mar 20 at 18:37
Thanks. But won't this potentially fail to be centered when the text is different? Because the text I'm using is different and I don't want to rely on my very bad eyes to assess what value centers the indices.

For the contents of the second column use
multirow{3}{*}{<your text>}. If you add more rows you might need to adjust the number in the first argument of multirow in the first column accordingly.– leandriis

Isn't that what is already being done? They aren't centered for me.

@whoami: I have added a second MWE showing how to vertically center the contents of the second column. I have also added images of the output I obtain from the two different examples.

Thanks. But won't this potentially fail to be centered when the text is different? Because the text I'm using is different and I don't want to rely on my very bad eyes to assess what value centers the indices.

Welcome to TeX.SE! I think
multicolumnis what you want. Anyway, please add a minimal working example.– JouleV

Welcome to TeX.SX! Could you please add a minimal working example (MWE) of what you have acmoplished so far to illustrate your problem?

@whoami: Please add the code directly to your question (by using the edit button). Content from external sites might be removed in the future which makes a question that relies on externally shown code unusable for future readers.

@leandriis My code wasn't a minimal example yet, that's why I didn't add it to the question. I now have a minimal example and I'm about to add it. Thank you for your guideance.

@whoami: I have removed the
pgfplotstableandthreeparttabletags from your question as you do not use the corresponding packages in your MWE.– leandriis
