I created the following table:

\begin{columns}[c] \begin{column}{7.5cm} \begin{table}[ht] \small \centering \caption{Test table} \begin{tabular}{ll} \midrule A &$a \sim \qty{e6}{m}$\\ B &$b \sim \qty{e-4}{s^{-1}}$\\ C &$c \sim \qty{e8}{m.s^{-2}}$\\ \begin{rcases} \textnormal{D}\\ \textnormal{E}\\ \end{rcases} &$d \sim \qty{e2}{K}$\\ F &$f = \qty{e-3}{m^2.s^{-2}.K}$\\ \bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{table} \end{column} \hspace{7.5cm} \end{columns}

I would like to add a bracket to the right side of the table as shown in the screenshot and I would like to place a text next to the bracket containing several quantities.

I found other questions on that topic, but I could not use them for my specific example. Do you know how I could do it?

EDIT:

\documentclass[serif,10pt, aspectratio=169]{beamer} \usepackage{booktabs} % package for table \usepackage{siunitx} % package for units and numbers \usepackage{mathtools} \usepackage[singlelinecheck=false]{caption} \begin{document} \section{Section1} \frame{{title}{} \begin{columns}[c] \begin{column}{7.5cm} \begin{table}[ht] \small \centering \caption{Test table} \begin{tabular}{ll} \midrule A &$a \sim \qty{e6}{m}$\\ B &$b \sim \qty{e-4}{s^{-1}}$\\ C &$c \sim \qty{e8}{m.s^{-2}}$\\ \begin{rcases} \textnormal{D}\\ \textnormal{E}\\ \end{rcases} &$d \sim \qty{e2}{K}$\\ F &$f = \qty{e-3}{m^2.s^{-2}.K}$\\ \bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{table} \end{column} \hspace{7.5cm} \end{columns} } \end{document}

    Please make your code compilable (if possible), or at least complete it with \documentclass{...}, the required \usepackage's, \begin{document}, and \end{document}. That may seem tedious to you, but think of the extra work it represents for the users willing to give you a hand.

  • I am sorry, I have not thought about that! Latex is still new to me. I added additional comments. Does that help? Commented Nov 9, 2023 at 9:44

  • the serif class option is deprecated. Use \usefonttheme{serif} instead (this will also avoid the warning in the log file about this)

  • rcases needs to be in math mode. Please don't ignore error messages.

  • floating specifier like [ht] don't make a lot of sense in a document class without floating mechanism

  • you don't need \centering, tables are automatically centred in beamer

  • you could use the tabularray package to create a table with a large brace on the right hand side:

\documentclass[10pt, aspectratio=169]{beamer} \usefonttheme{serif} \usepackage{booktabs} % package for table \usepackage{siunitx} % package for units and numbers \usepackage{mathtools} %\usepackage[singlelinecheck=false]{caption} \usepackage{tabularray} \UseTblrLibrary{amsmath,booktabs} \begin{document} \section{Section1} \begin{frame} \frametitle{title} \begin{table} \small \caption{Test table} \begin{+array}{ delimiter = {right=\rbrace, left=.}, column{2} = {mode={imath}} } \midrule A & a \sim \qty{e6}{m}\\ B & b \sim \qty{e-4}{s^{-1}}\\ C & c \sim \qty{e8}{m.s^{-2}}\\ $\begin{rcases} \text{D}\\ \text{E}\\ \end{rcases}$ & d \sim \qty{e2}{K}\\ F & f = \qty{e-3}{m^2.s^{-2}.K}\\ \bottomrule \end{+array} Description \end{table} \end{frame} \end{document}

Use the current recommended syntax:

  • \usefonttheme{serif} rather than the option serif
  • \begin{frame}...\end{frame} rather than \frame{...}

Next you can use nicetabular.

\documentclass[10pt, aspectratio=169]{beamer} \usefonttheme{serif} \usepackage{booktabs} % package for table \usepackage{siunitx} % package for units and numbers \usepackage{nicematrix} \usepackage[singlelinecheck=false]{caption} \begin{document} \section{Section1} \begin{frame} \frametitle{title} \begin{columns}[c] \begin{column}{7.5cm} \begin{table}[ht] \small \centering \caption{Test table} \begin{NiceTabular}{@{} l l @{}} \toprule A &$a \sim \qty{e6}{m}$ \\ B &$b \sim \qty{e-4}{s^{-1}}$\\ C &$c \sim \qty{e8}{m.s^{-2}}$\\ D & \Block{2-1}{$d \sim \qty{e2}{K}$} \\ E & \\ F &$f = \qty{e-3}{m^2.s^{-2}.K}$\\ \bottomrule \CodeAfter\SubMatrix.{4-1}{5-1}\}\SubMatrix.{1-2}{6-2}\} \end{NiceTabular} $\quad\begin{matrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{matrix}$ \end{table} \end{column} \hspace{7.5cm} \end{columns} \end{frame} \end{document}

  • This is a beautiful solution. However, the description switches from right to bottom when I edit the table entries. Did that occur to you? Commented Nov 9, 2023 at 10:34
  • @Sylvia I guess you don't want the description on the side or to increase the allotted width. Commented Nov 9, 2023 at 11:01
