I am using table in cell instead of using multirow. I can't get them to center or left center, despite using \begin{tabular}[c]{@{}l@{}} or \begin{tabular}[l]{@{}l@{}}. I have tried to change the column type but it seems that it doesn't change anything. I would like to center each "Detection" column, and center left each "Propagation path" column.

Here is the obtained result: enter image description here As you can see "Detection" column is not centered, and the third cell of the second row is not left centered.

Thanks for your help.

[EDIT]

Thanks to @Simon Dispa I centered the columns I wanted. I also modified my code to align the text of each "Propagation path" column. I used \begin{tabular}{|L{34mm}|} T7-PLC9-SCADA \\T7-PLC9-PLC5-SCADA \\T7-PLC9-PLC5-PU10-T7 \\T7-PLC9-PLC5-PU11-T7\end{tabular}

With \newcolumntype{L}[1]{>{\RaggedRight\hspace{0pt}}p{#1}} enter image description here

But your code produces centered columns! They might be tight, but centered.

I added vertical lines for better visualization. It also centered the last cell in the bottom row (PIS column). I think it looks better. The same could be applied to the cells in the Detection column.

            27 \\ 41 \\ 47,75 \\ 41
        \end{tabular}

To align the shorter (two in the example) it could be used \multicolumn{1}{l}{...}

        & \begin{tabular}[c]{@{}l@{}}$\edcoh=\true$ \\ $t=\SI{79.6}{\hour}$\end{tabular} & \multicolumn{1}{l}{\begin{tabular}{@{}l@{}} %<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< changed

            \\T1-PLC2-PLC1-PU2-T1 
        \end{tabular}}

Centering Detection and PIS cells, aligning left two Propagation Path cells. d

This is the final code.

  • Indeed, it's my bad I modified the wrong part of the column specification.

  • Do you think I should modify the horizontal padding to align the text in each "Propagation path" column ?

  • @nicope13 It will look better if the narrowed entries are left align. (two in the example)
