I want my table to have separated cells. Basically double lines but I can't figure how to have horizontal lines disconnected. I tried \hline and \cline but those connect too.

This is best I can do:

This is how I want my table to look: enter image description here

\begin{tabular}{|c||c||c||c|}
  \hline
  \multicolumn{2}{|c||}{First Cell}&
  Second Cell&
  Third Cell\\
  \hline
  \hline
  \begin{tabular}{@{}l@{}} Data\\ Data\\ Data\\
  \end{tabular}&
  \begin{tabular}{@{}l@{}}
    Data\\
    Data\\
    Data\\
  \end{tabular}&
  \begin{tabular}{@{}l@{}}
    Data\\
    Data\\
    Data\\
  \end{tabular}&
  \begin{tabular}{@{}l@{}}
    Data\\
    Data\\
    Data\\
  \end{tabular}\\

  \hline

\end{tabular}

  • Welcome to TeX - LaTeX! What have you tried? Please post a minimal working example (MWE) demonstrating your set-up.

  • I also tried putting every cell in its nested tabular environement but that way it messes up spaceing between cells of primary table

You can achieve this with the hhline package:

Result

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hhline}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{|c||c||c||c|}
  \hhline{|--||-||-|}
  \multicolumn{2}{|c||}{First Cell}&
  Second Cell&
  Third Cell\\
  \hhline{=:t:=::=::=:}
  \begin{tabular}{@{}l@{}} Data\\ Data\\ Data\\
  \end{tabular}&
  \begin{tabular}{@{}l@{}}
    Data\\

Here is a way to construct that table with {NiceTabular} of nicematrix.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{nicematrix,tikz}

\begin{document}

\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.3}

\begin{NiceTabular}{cccc}
\Block{1-2}{First Cell} && Second Cell & Third cell \\
\Block{3-1}{} Data & \Block{3-1}{} Data & \Block{3-1}{} Data & \Block{3-1}{} Data \\
Data & Data & Data & Data \\
Data & Data & Data & Data \\
More Data & More Data & More Data & More Data \\
\CodeAfter
  \TikzEveryCell{offset=1pt,draw}
\end{NiceTabular}

\end{document}

You need several compilations (because nicematrix uses PGF/Tikz nodes under the hood).

Output of the first code

It's also possible to add rounded corners:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{nicematrix,tikz}

\begin{document}

\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.3}

\begin{NiceTabular}{cccc}
\Block{1-2}{First Cell} && Second Cell & Third cell \\
\Block{3-1}{} Data & \Block{3-1}{} Data & \Block{3-1}{} Data & \Block{3-1}{} Data \\
Data & Data & Data & Data \\
Data & Data & Data & Data \\
More Data & More Data & More Data & More Data \\
\CodeAfter
  \TikzEveryCell{offset=1pt,draw,rounded corners}
\end{NiceTabular}

\end{document}

Output of the second code
