How to remove line in cell table?

Question

I have working code which produce the image below:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,oneside]{report}

\usepackage{ragged2e}
\usepackage{longtable, makecell}
\newcolumntype{L}[1]{>{\RaggedRight}p{#1}}
\renewcommand\theadfont{\small\bfseries}
\setcellgapes{3pt}

\begin{document}

{\makegapedcells
  \begin{longtable}{|c|L{2.5cm}|L{5cm}|L{1.8cm}|L{2.1cm}|}
    \caption{My Table}\\
    \hline
    \thead{No} & \thead{A} & \thead{B} & \thead{C} &  \thead{D} \\\hline
    %
    1 & FOO-01 & Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet & John & Lorem \\\hline
    1.1 & FOO-01-01 & consectetur adipiscing elit. &  & \\\hline
    1.2 & FOO-01-02 & curabitur ut quam eu. & & \\\hline
    2 & FOO-02 & Nam posuere turpis et & Doe & Ipsum\\\hline
    2.1 & FOO-02-01 & consectetur adipiscing elit. & &\\\hline
    2.2 & FOO-02-02 & curabitur ut quam eu. & &\\\hline
  \end{longtable}
}

\end{document}

However I want to remove some line in the certain cell to become like this:

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Simply use \cline{fromcolumn-tocolumn}.

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,oneside]{report}

\usepackage{ragged2e}
\usepackage{longtable, makecell}
\newcolumntype{L}[1]{>{\RaggedRight}p{#1}}
\renewcommand\theadfont{\small\bfseries}
\setcellgapes{3pt}

\begin{document}

{\makegapedcells
  \begin{longtable}{|c|L{2.5cm}|L{5cm}|L{1.8cm}|L{2.1cm}|}
    \caption{My Table}\\
    \hline
    \thead{No} & \thead{A} & \thead{B} & \thead{C} &  \thead{D} \\\hline
    %
    1 & FOO-01 & Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet & John & Lorem \\\cline{1-3}
    1.1 & FOO-01-01 & consectetur adipiscing elit. &  & \\\cline{1-3}
    1.2 & FOO-01-02 & curabitur ut quam eu. & & \\\hline
    2 & FOO-02 & Nam posuere turpis et & Doe & Ipsum\\\cline{1-3}
    2.1 & FOO-02-01 & consectetur adipiscing elit. & &\\\cline{1-3}
    2.2 & FOO-02-02 & curabitur ut quam eu. & &\\\hline
  \end{longtable}
}

\end{document}

Edit: in case of a table which goes on many pages, with \pagebreak you can force a page break to avoid the separation of a group of cells.

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,oneside]{report}

\usepackage{ragged2e}
\usepackage{longtable, makecell}
\newcolumntype{L}[1]{>{\RaggedRight}p{#1}}
\renewcommand\theadfont{\small\bfseries}
\setcellgapes{3pt}

\begin{document}

{\makegapedcells
  \begin{longtable}{|c|L{2.5cm}|L{5cm}|L{1.8cm}|L{2.1cm}|}
    \caption{My Table}\\
    \hline
    \thead{No} & \thead{A} & \thead{B} & \thead{C} &  \thead{D} \\\hline
    \endfirsthead
    \hline
    \thead{No} & \thead{A} & \thead{B} & \thead{C} &  \thead{D} \\\hline
    \endhead
    %
    1 & FOO-01 & Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet & John & Lorem \\\cline{1-3}
    1.1 & FOO-01-01 & consectetur adipiscing elit. &  & \\\cline{1-3}
    1.2 & FOO-01-02 & curabitur ut quam eu. & & \\\hline
    2 & FOO-02 & Nam posuere turpis et & Doe & Ipsum\\\cline{1-3}
    2.1 & FOO-02-01 & consectetur adipiscing elit. & &\\\cline{1-3}
