This question is related to this post (accepted answer): Table formatting.

After compiling the code below I obtain this outcome: enter image description here

I have tried several alternatives such as adding backslashes or "&" symbols but I am still unable to obtain the desired results.

Thanks in advance.

 \documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{scrreprt} \usepackage{booktabs} \begin{document} \begin{table} \centering \begin{tabular}{@{} lcccc @{}} % suppress vertical whitespace at start and end \toprule Company& \multicolumn{3}{c}{Exceedances} & No.\ of Obs.\ \cmidrule(lr){2-4} & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Empirical} & Expected\ \cmidrule(lr){2-3} \cmidrule(lr){4-4} &standard & standardized\\ % make columns 2 and 3 narrower &normal & Student's-$t$\ \midrule Company 1&1&5&9&13\ Company 2&2&6&10&14\ Company 3&3&11&15\ Company 4&4&8&12&16\ \midrule[\heavyrulewidth] % use "thick" \midrule instead of \bottomrule \multicolumn{4}{@{}l}{\footnotesize An additional hint about a detail} \end{tabular} \caption{Here is the caption.} \label{labelhere} \end{table} \end{document}

    That is unfortunately a site-wide bug that was introduced; see Double backslashes disappear from code. I've corrected the code in the linked post. Once it's worked for you, we can close this question. Commented Apr 25, 2017 at 1:30
  • Great, thanks a lot @Werner for letting me know about the bug as well as editing the original code! Commented Apr 25, 2017 at 1:39

You have to use a double backslash \\ for a linebreak.

\documentclass{article} \usepackage{booktabs} \begin{document} \begin{table} \centering \begin{tabular}{@{} lcccc @{}} \toprule Company & \multicolumn{3}{c}{Exceedances} & No.\ of Obs. \\ \cmidrule(lr){2-4} & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Empirical} & Expected \\ \cmidrule(lr){2-3}\cmidrule(lr){4-4} & standard & standardized \\ & normal & Student's-$t$ \\ \midrule Company 1 & 1 & 5 & 9 & 13 \\ Company 2 & 2 & 6 & 10 & 14 \\ Company 3 & 3 & 11 & 15 \\ Company 4 & 4 & 8 & 12 & 16 \\ \midrule[\heavyrulewidth] \multicolumn{4}{@{}l}{\footnotesize An additional hint about a detail} \end{tabular} \caption{Here is the caption.} \label{labelhere} \end{table} \end{document}
