Hello! I’m trying to merge the third column of the attached code table but I’m not able to develop a code that can eliminate the spacing error in the last column. Note that the text of the third column aligns with that of the last column, causing a spacing that impairs the aesthetics of the table. If it were in Excel it would be very simple because simply merge the rows of the third column and solve the problem. Could someone help me with this code fix please?
