I am encountering problems combining the package multirow with the @-expressions. Basically, my table shall look like the one in the following picture:
Now I want to adjust all plusminus signs so they are straight below each other. Therefore, I use the $c@{ \pm }c$ statement behind the \begin{tabular} command. See:
\documentclass{scrbook}
\begin{table}[htbp]
\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.3}
\caption[...]{...}
\label{...}
\begin{tabular}{c | c@{ $\pm$ }c | c@{ $\pm$ }c }
\multicolumn{1}{c|}{\bf{STATION}} & \multicolumn{2}{c}{\bf{SKEW VALUES}} \\ \hline
& \bf{Single Traces [s]} & \bf{Stacked Traces [s]} \\ \hline
RUM41 & 1.089 & 12.337 & 0.888 & 1.278 \\
RUM42 & 0.193 & 2.626 & 0.074 & 0.580 \\
...
\end{tabular}
\end{minipage}
\end{table}
All I get, the @-expression interprets the multicolumn "&" as something to align (see table2). That makes sense but is not desired. Clearly, I would need a command which does an exception of the @-expression for a specific line I state, in this case the multicolumn line. I couldn't find it. Anyone having an idea?
Furthermore, is there a way of fixing the cell width in:
\begin{tabular}{c | c@{ $\pm$ }c | c@{ $\pm$ }c }
m{4cm} does not work for example.
r@{${}\pm{}$}l
