Text not vertically aligned within tabular with nested tabular
I am trying to vertically align a row heading with a table inside the row. But no matter what I do, the heading remains in the center. I tried using p{'width'}, but that had no change.
documentclass{article}
begin{document}
begin{tabular}{@{}l l}
Large{Row Heading 1} & Some text that can span the entire page. vspace{6pt} \
Large{Row Heading 2} & begin{tabular}{@{}l l}
{Column heading 1} & hspace{1in} {Column Heading 2} \
small{Column data} & hspace{1in} small{Column data} \
small{Column data} & hspace{1in} small{Column data} \
\
{Column heading 3} & hspace{1in} {Column heading 4} \
small{Column data} & hspace{1in} small{Column data} \
small{Column data} & hspace{1in} small{Column data} \
end{tabular}

Welcome to TeX.SX. On this site, questions should include a "Minimal Working Example" (MWE) that starts withdocumentclass, includes all relevantusepackagecommands, ends withend{document}and compiles without errors, even if it does not produce your desired output.

If your objective is to align "Row Heading 2" with the top row of the "inner" tabular environment, you should change the setup of the inner tabular from
begin{tabular}{@{}l l}
to
begin{tabular}[t]{@{}l l} % [t] for "top alignment".
Here's a cleaned-up version of your example code. Note that Large and small are switches, i.e., they don't take arguments. I've also replaced vspace{6pt} \ with the more idiomatic expression \[6pt], and I've gotten rid of the six hspace{1in} directives by making the inter-column spacing a part of the definition of the inner tabular environment.
documentclass{article}
usepackage{tabularx} % for 'tabularx' environment
begin{document}
noindent
begin{tabularx}{textwidth}{@{}l X@{}}
Large Row Heading 1 & Some text that can span the entire page. \[6pt]
Large Row Heading 2 &
begin{tabular}[t]{@{} l @{hspace{1in}} l @{}}
Column heading 1 & Column heading 2\
small Column data & Column data \
small Column data & Column data \
\ % empty row
Column heading 3 & Column heading 4 \
small Column data & small Column data \
small Column data & small Column data \
end{tabular}
end{tabularx}
