I want latex to ignore the height of a tabular cell and to overflow its content to the above and below tabular cell (see image - red arrows). First I tried \multirow but this doesn't align the text on the left side in the right way.
\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{adjustbox}
\usepackage{multirow}
\begin{document}
%%- Cropped Image
\newcommand{\croppedimg}[1]%
{%
\adjustbox{valign=c}{\includegraphics[width=1\linewidth,clip=true,trim=90pt 60pt 50pt 140pt]{#1}}%
}%
\begin{minipage}[t]{13cm}
\begin{tabular}{p{0.008\linewidth}p{0.008\linewidth}p{0.008\linewidth}p{0.4\linewidth}p{0.4\linewidth}}
%-- multirow solution does not work right... dont know why.
%& \multirow{3}{*}{\rotatebox[origin=c]{90}{Property Text 1 large}} & & %
%
%-- solution without multirow but now the table row hight grows with it's inner elements
& & &
Caption A:\newline Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text & %
Caption B:\newline Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text \\
%%
& \rotatebox[origin=c]{90}{Property Text 1 large} %
& \rotatebox[origin=c]{90}{Unit 1 Text} & \croppedimg{black.png} & \croppedimg{black.png} \\
%%
\rotatebox[origin=c]{90}{Property Text 2} & %
& \rotatebox[origin=c]{90}{Unit 2 Text} & \croppedimg{black.png} & \croppedimg{black.png} \\
%%
& \rotatebox[origin=c]{90}{Property Text 3} %
& \rotatebox[origin=c]{90}{Unit 3 Text} & \croppedimg{black.png} & \croppedimg{black.png} \\
%%
\rotatebox[origin=c]{90}{Property Text 4 large} & %
& \rotatebox[origin=c]{90}{Unit 4 Text} & \croppedimg{black.png} & \croppedimg{black.png} \\
& & & \vspace{1cm} & \vspace{1cm}
\end{tabular}
\end{minipage}
\end{document}
I think I need something like the HTML-CSS command "position:absolute" for the "property-text-1-large" cell so that the outer tabular element does not grow with this inner content size. I know this is not a good solution but I think it will be the simplest?
so the result should look like this
Thanks very much
