Horizontally align a multirow cell in a table
Just add a multicolumn
-environment around your multirow
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multirow,multicol}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}
\begin{tabular}{c l c c c}
\hline
\multirow{2}{*}{Text} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{\multirow{2}{*}{ Text to center}} & 1234 & 345 & 543 \\
& & (Four-digit) & (Three-digit) & (Four-digit) \\
\hline \hline
\multirow{3}{*}{Yes} & Managers, and senior officials & 1 & 2 & 1 \\
& Professional occupations & 2 & 2 & 2 \\
& Associate professional occupations & 3 & 3 & 3 \\
\hline
\multirow{3}{*}{No} & Personal service occupations & 5 & 6 & 8 \\
& Agricultural, fishery and related & 9 & 9 & 9 \\
& Health service occupations & 8 & 6 & 6 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{document}
Just add an \hfil
and \hfill
about the item in question.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multirow,multicol}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}
\begin{tabular}{c l c c c}
\hline
\multirow{2}{*}{Text} & \hfil\multirow{2}{*}{Text to center}\hfill & 1234 & 345 & 543 \\
& & (Four-digit) & (Three-digit) & (Four-digit) \\
\hline \hline
\multirow{3}{*}{Yes} & Managers, and senior officials & 1 & 2 & 1 \\
& Professional occupations & 2 & 2 & 2 \\
& Associate professional occupations & 3 & 3 & 3 \\
\hline
\multirow{3}{*}{No} & Personal service occupations & 5 & 6 & 8 \\
& Agricultural, fishery and related & 9 & 9 & 9 \\
& Health service occupations & 8 & 6 & 6 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{document}
Use the makecell
package for that. It allows for line breaks in cells, and a common formatting. By default, the contents of a \makecell
command is centred both vertically and horizontally (but this may be changed with an optional argument) whatever the alignment in the column. Additionally, you have one less row.
I took the opportunity to use the rules of booktabs
, which adds some vertical padding around them.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multirow,multicol, makecell, booktabs}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}
\begin{tabular}{c l c c c}
\toprule
{Text} & \makecell{Text to center} & \makecell{1234 & & \\ Four-digit} & \makecell{345\\Three-digit }& \makecell{543\\Four-digit }\\
\cmidrule{1-5}\morecmidrules \cmidrule{1-5}
\multirow{3}{*}{Yes} & Managers, and senior officials & 1 & 2 & 1 \\
& Professional occupations & 2 & 2 & 2 \\
& Associate professional occupations & 3 & 3 & 3 \\
\cmidrule(lr){1-5}
\multirow{3}{*}{No} & Personal service occupations & 5 & 6 & 8 \\
& Agricultural, fishery and related & 9 & 9 & 9 \\
& Health service occupations & 8 & 6 & 6 \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{document}
