# Help Recreating a Table

I am trying to recreate this table using LaTeX.

I want to additionally align the decimals. I have tried using this code to do so.

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Table}
\begin{table}
\begin{tabular}{l *{4}{d{3.3}} }
\toprule
Variable & Weighted Test Statistic  & Unweighted p-value & Weighted Test Statistic  & Unweighted p-value\\
\midrule
Attendance Rate&0.55&0.0875&2.15&$<$0.0001\\
Test Average&4.14&0.0320&4.68&0.0080\\
Final Exam&4.12&0.0022&1.99&0.1590\\
\makecell{Data Analysis \\ Assignment Average}&20.98&$<$0.0001&17.42&$<$0.0001\\
Quiz Average&3.88&0.0035&2.33&0.0399\\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\caption{Kruskal-Wallis Tests by Semester}
\end{table}

\end{frame}


This code created the following table. There are several things I would like to fix. Namely

• Adding fall and spring panels like in the original table
• Aligning the values associated with the "Data Analysis Assignment Average" at the top of that row
• Fixing the < signs
• Fixing the headings so that they can be within the bounds of a PowerPoint slide. I tried using the makecell{.} function but it didn't work the same as with the \midrule components.

Note: I wasn't sure what to title this question so feel free to change it.

Edit:

Using Zarko's code, I get the following.

with tabularx, siunitx and makecell packages:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{booktabs, makecell, multirow, tabularx}
\usepackage{siunitx}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\begin{table}

\setlength\tabcolsep{2pt}
\small
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{@{}

S[table-format=1.4,
table-comparator=true]}
@{}}
\toprule

\cmidrule(r){2-3} \cmidrule(l){4-5}
&   {\thead{Weighted\\ Test Statistic}}
&   {\thead{Weighted\\ Test Statistic}}
&   {\thead{Unweighted\\ p-value}}           \\
\midrule
Attendance Rate                     &  0.55 &  0.0875 &  2.15 & <0.0001\\
Test Average                        &  4.14 &  0.0320 &  4.68 &  0.0080\\
Final Exam                          &  4.12 &  0.0022 &  1.99 &  0.1590\\
Data Analysis Assignment Average    & 20.98 & <0.0001 & 17.42 & <0.0001\\
Quiz Average                        &  3.88 &  0.0035 &  2.33 &  0.0399\\
\bottomrule
\end{tabularx}
\end{table}
\end{frame}

• I used your code and "Variable" looks weird. I added a picture to my original post. Any idea what happened there? – Remy Apr 23 '19 at 16:46
• @Remy, if you not obtain the same result as I show, than you or change something in my code or you have installed older version of used packages. I test my code with recent versions of all used packages. – Zarko Apr 23 '19 at 17:40
• I'm using Overleaf. When I just use multirow{Variable}, I get what you have except variable is adjacent to "Fall" and "Spring." Does it matter what other packages I'm using to go along with those? – Remy Apr 23 '19 at 17:48
• @Remy, oh Overleaf .... it hasn't installed decent ˙\multirow package. You need to change line \multirow[b]{3}{=}{Variable} to older syntax \multirow{5}{*}{Variable}. – Zarko Apr 23 '19 at 18:07
• Thanks so much. I think your code is what I'll go with. – Remy Apr 23 '19 at 18:54

Here my suggestions.

I have not met the point two. It seems more elegant to me aligned at the bottom, or as showed here, aligned at the middle. But if you disagree, just change the m column by a p. Anyway, with p,m or b the main point is that without awful the horizontal rows, this table needs some extra vertical space between rows to mark clearly where start/end the text of the multiline cell. Otherwise, the "Variable" column is a mess.

• How can I make the decimals not be in the center but down? It looks like a multiplication sign. – Remy Apr 23 '19 at 3:56
• @Reny In old British typography, the interpunct is the formal decimal point. As using full stops is easier in computers, this style is disappearing, however is still used in some good academic journals. Change this is as simple as replace on line 3 the \cdot by . or , or whatever that you want as decimal separator. – Fran Apr 23 '19 at 23:36

This might work for your purposes. I used the article class for this but I think you can change it to beamer and use the \frametitle{} option in lieu of the caption and you can adjust the font size as needed using \footnotesize or anything else that can fit the dimensions of the slide. In addition, you can add the \begin{frame} and \end{frame} to the beginning and end of the table chunk of code.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{fullpage}
\usepackage{tabulary}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\begin{document}

\begin{table}
\caption{Kruskal-Wallis Tests by Semester}
\begin{tabulary}{\linewidth}{LCCCC}
\\
\hline
& \multicolumn{2}{c}{Falll}&\multicolumn{2}{c}{Spring} \\
\hline
Variable & Weighted Test Statistic  & Unweighted p-value & Weighted Test Statistic  & Unweighted p-value\\
\hline
Attendance Rate&0.55&0.0875&2.15&$<$0.0001\\
Test Average&4.14&0.0320&4.68&0.0080\\
Final Exam&4.12&0.0022&1.99&0.1590\\
Data Analysis&&&&\\

Quiz Average&3.88&0.0035&2.33&0.0399\\
\hline
\end{tabulary}
\end{table}

\end{document}


Edit:

For beamer class,

\begin{frame}
\footnotesize %Or whatever other size you need
\frametitle{MY TABLE} %Frame Title
\begin{table}
\caption{Kruskal-Wallis Tests by Semester}
\begin{tabulary}{\linewidth}{LCCCC}

I hope this helps!

• Thank you for your response. I tried adding your packages but it made every slide look weird. I have edited my post with a picture. Would it help if I showed each package I'm currently using? – Remy Apr 23 '19 at 0:26
• I think your problem might come from the fullpage package because I never use that for beamer. If that is not it, please let me know what packages you are using. – Jennifer Apr 23 '19 at 0:29
• That worked! Could you please edit your post to show where the font size adjustment goes? – Remy Apr 23 '19 at 0:32
• I added it and hope it works for your purposes! – Jennifer Apr 23 '19 at 0:37
