I managed to make a table but the caption (or any text I add after it) is in the middle of the table, as if the table ended after the second row. I couldn't find a similar question so I decided to ask myself.



I added the caption and some text after the table. They both behave as if the table ended after the second row



Without the caption, or any text before/after it, the table looks almost how I would want it to look.

multirow<nrows><width><text> spreads text (vertically) across <nrows> rows of width <width>. If <width> is given as *, it uses the natural width of <text>. So, for example, using multirow12*<...> means you want to spread that specific cell over 12 rows. It's obviously incorrect since each TestX you want to spread over only 3 rows.



Here's a slightly different implementation (since you don't need multirow here) using makecell:

As I write in the comment to the question, you have misunderstood how multirow calculate spanning of rows, but it is easily fixed. Just add 3 all places (i.e instead of 6, 9 and 12).



To fix the misplaced caption, and if you want to use your original code, you have to add extra space after the multirow row to create enough space for the spanned rows. Since you span three rows, you may either add two rows (&&\) or extra height at the end-of-row command (\[<height>]. I added two normalbaselineskips so you have space equal three rows.



The safest place for the label is inside the caption command. Then it will not fail.

    A variant code, also based on makecell, combined with multirow – and booktabs, to add some padding around rules. I added some vertical spacing to separate the groups of three lines. Also, a reference to requires a label command (after the caption) to work.

      multirow<nrows><width><text> spreads text (vertically) across <nrows> rows of width <width>. If <width> is given as *, it uses the natural width of <text>. So, for example, using multirow12*<...> means you want to spread that specific cell over 12 rows. It's obviously incorrect since each TestX you want to spread over only 3 rows.



      Here's a slightly different implementation (since you don't need multirow here) using makecell:

      Note how the label comes after caption in order to achieve the correct reference. See Why does an environment's label have to appear after the caption?.

      • If you always have 3 rows/elements in Column B & Column C, you don't need makecell either. Just place the Column A entry on the second row of each "block."

      As I write in the comment to the question, you have misunderstood how multirow calculate spanning of rows, but it is easily fixed. Just add 3 all places (i.e instead of 6, 9 and 12).



      To fix the misplaced caption, and if you want to use your original code, you have to add extra space after the multirow row to create enough space for the spanned rows. Since you span three rows, you may either add two rows (&&\) or extra height at the end-of-row command (\[<height>]. I added two normalbaselineskips so you have space equal three rows.



      The safest place for the label is inside the caption command. Then it will not fail.
