i want the second "diffusivity" verticallay centered within its obvious scope enter image description here

MWE

 \documentclass{scrreprt} \usepackage{amsmath} \begin{document} \begin{table} \centering \begin{tabular}{c c c c} \hline Variable &Region Variable &Value &Unit \\ \hline area &$A$ &0 &m\\ \hline &$L_{1}$ &0 &m\\ lengths &$L_{2}$ &0 &m\\ &$L_{3}$ &0 &m\\ \hline &$D_{1}$\\ diffusivity &$D_{2}$\\ &$D_{3}$\\ \hline diffusivity &$D_{1}$\\ &$D_{2}$\\ \hline \end{tabular} \caption{xyz} \label{tab:para} \end{table} \end{document}

You can do it with the makecell package (less code since it allows for line breaks inside cells). I also used the booktabs package, to have a less tight vertical spacing between rows:

\documentclass{scrreprt} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{booktabs, makecell} \begin{document} \begin{table} \centering \begin{tabular}{r c c c} \toprule \makecell{Variable} & \makecell{Region\\ Variable} &Value &Unit \\ \midrule area &$A$ &0 &m\rlap{\textsuperscript 2}\\ \addlinespace[1.5ex] lengths &\makecell{$L_{1}$\\$L_{2}$\\$L_{3}$ }&\makecell{0\\0\\0} &\makecell{m\\m\\m}\\ \addlinespace[1.5ex] diffusivity &\makecell{$D_{1}$\\$D_{2}$\\$D_{3}$}\\ \addlinespace[1.5ex] diffusivity &\makecell{$D_{1}$\\$D_{2}$} &\\ \bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{table} \end{document}
