Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Multirow with sideways text in table

[dmuthu_cse]

Hello friends,

I am trying to create a table, where it includes sideways text, multirow and multicolumn. But it seems that multirow is not working with sideways text.

I have tried MWE, please go through and tell me know your suggestions. The required table is available in PDF.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10.5pt,english]{book}
\usepackage{fancybox,array,amsmath,amssymb,babel}
\usepackage[centering,
  headheight=14pt,
  headsep=10pt,
  includehead,
  papersize={18cm,24cm},
  text={15.25cm,19.2cm},
  dvips=false,
  pdftex=false,
  vtex=false]{geometry}
\usepackage[cam,a4,center,dvips]{crop}
\usepackage{graphicx,colortbl,textcomp,wrapfig}
\usepackage{fancyhdr,setspace,rotating}
\usepackage{ltxtable,tabularx,booktabs,multirow,dcolumn}

\begin{document}


\begin{table}[!ht]
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline 
\multicolumn{15}{|c|}{\textbf{Pay Roll}}\tabularnewline
\multicolumn{15}{|l|}{Department: xxx\hfill Period Ending: xxx }\tabularnewline
\hline 
\begin{sideways}
\multirow{2}*{\textbf{Name }}%
\end{sideways} & \begin{sideways}
\multirow{2}*{\textbf{Worker Number}}%
\end{sideways} & \begin{sideways}
\multirow{2}*{\textbf{Wage rate}}%
\end{sideways} & \begin{sideways}
\multirow{2}*{\textbf{Total Hours}}%
\end{sideways} & \begin{sideways}
\multirow{2}*{\textbf{Overtime Hours}}%
\end{sideways} & \begin{sideways}
\multirow{2}*{\textbf{Wage}}%
\end{sideways} & \begin{sideways}
\multirow{2}*{\textbf{D.A.}}%
\end{sideways} & \begin{sideways}
\multirow{2}*{\textbf{Other allowances}}%
\end{sideways} & \begin{sideways}
\multirow{2}*{\textbf{Gross wages}}%
\end{sideways} & \multicolumn{5}{c|}{\textbf{Deductions}} & \multirow{2}*{\textbf{Net Wages}}\tabularnewline
\cline{10-14} 

 &  &  &  &  &  &  &  &  & \begin{sideways}
\textbf{ESI}%
\end{sideways} & \begin{sideways}
\textbf{PF}%
\end{sideways} & \begin{sideways}
\textbf{IT}%
\end{sideways} & \begin{sideways}
\textbf{Others}%
\end{sideways} & \begin{sideways}
\textbf{Total Deductions}%
\end{sideways} & \tabularnewline \hline 

 &  &  &  &  &  &  &  &  &  &  &  &  &  & \tabularnewline
\hline 
\textbf{Total} &  &  &  &  &  &  &  &  &  &  &  &  &  & \tabularnewline
\hline 
\multicolumn{15}{|l|}{Prepared by : xxx\hfill{}Checked by : xxx}\tabularnewline
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

\end{document}

Hi, Muthu

instead of the sideways environment I'd rather use a \rotatebox command (from graphicx). I did some other changes to the table (and you can still make some final adjustments):

Code: Select all

\documentclass[english]{book}
\usepackage{fancybox,array,amsmath,amssymb,babel}
\usepackage[centering,
  headheight=14pt,
  headsep=10pt,
  includehead,
  papersize={18cm,24cm},
  text={15.25cm,19.2cm},
  dvips=false,
  pdftex=false,
  vtex=false]{geometry}
\usepackage[cam,a4,center,dvips]{crop}
\usepackage{graphicx,colortbl,textcomp,wrapfig}
\usepackage{fancyhdr,setspace,rotating}
\usepackage{ltxtable,tabularx,booktabs,multirow,dcolumn}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}[!ht]
  \renewcommand\tabcolsep{7pt}
  \renewcommand\arraystretch{1.3}
  \begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
  \hline 
  \multicolumn{15}{|c|}{\textbf{Pay Roll}}\tabularnewline
  \multicolumn{15}{|l|}{Department: xxx\hfill Period Ending: xxx }
  \tabularnewline\hline
  &&&&&&&&& \multicolumn{5}{c|}{\textbf{Deductions}} &
  \tabularnewline\cline{10-14}
