How to split table cell into multiple columns?

Question

I am trying to achieve below table show in the figure, but I couldn't succeed it. I tried the below code.

\begin{table}[]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{lllllll}
Dataset & Model & Evaluation criteria & Rank &  &  &  \\
 &  & RMSE & MAPE & MAE & R &  \\
(A) & Proposed &  &  &  &  &  \\
 & FN &  &  &  &  &  \\
 & NN &  &  &  &  &  \\
 & RX &  &  &  &  &  \\
(B) & Proposed &  &  &  &  &  \\
 & FN &  &  &  &  &  \\
 & NN &  &  &  &  &  \\
 & RX &  &  &  &  &  \\
(C) & Proposed &  &  &  &  &  \\
 & FN &  &  &  &  &  \\
 & NN &  &  &  &  &  \\
 & ARX &  &  &  &  &  \\
(D) & Proposed &  &  &  &  &  \\
 & FFN &  &  &  &  &  \\
 & LNN &  &  &  &  &  \\
 & ARX &  &  &  &  & 
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

Does this answer your question? Combining multirow and multicolumn — ingli, Jan 28 '20 at 08:59
@ingli-- you need to add an example with rotated text like in the first column — js bibra, Jan 28 '20 at 09:01
Are you sure you want to rotate the entries in the first column? I see no reason to. — egreg, Jan 28 '20 at 10:17

\begin{table}[]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
\multirow{2}{*}{Dataset} & \multirow{2}{*}{Model} & \multicolumn{4}{c|}{Evaluation criteria}   &  \multirow{2}{*}{Rank} \\ 
\cline{3-6}
 &  & RMSE & MAPE & MAE & R &  \\
 \hline
\multirow{4}{*}{\rotatebox{90}{(A)}} & Proposed &  &  &  &  &  \\
\cline{2-7}
 & FN &  &  &  &  &  \\
 \cline{2-7}
 & NN &  &  &  &  &  \\
 \cline{2-7}
 & RX &  &  &  &  &  \\
 \cline{1-7}
\multirow{4}{*}{\rotatebox{90}{(B)}} & Proposed &  &  &  &  &  \\
\cline{2-7}
 & FN &  &  &  &  &  \\
 \cline{2-7}
 & NN &  &  &  &  &  \\
 \cline{2-7}
 & RX &  &  &  &  &  \\
 \cline{1-7}
\multirow{4}{*}{\rotatebox{90}{(C)}} & Proposed &  &  &  &  &  \\
\cline{2-7}
 & FN &  &  &  &  &  \\
 \cline{2-7}
 & NN &  &  &  &  &  \\
 \cline{2-7}
 & ARX &  &  &  &  &  \\
 \cline{1-7}
\multirow{4}{*}{\rotatebox{90}{(D)}} & Proposed &  &  &  &  &  \\
\cline{2-7}
 & FFN &  &  &  &  &  \\
 \cline{2-7}
 & LNN &  &  &  &  &  \\
 \cline{2-7}
 & ARX &  &  &  &  &\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

\rotatebox[origin=c]{90}{(X)} would be better. – egreg Jan 28 '20 at 10:34 — egreg, Jan 28 '20 at 10:34

You have to load multirowand rotating for that . The makecell package will also be useful, as it allows for line breaks and common formatting in standard cells. Furthermore, you can define some vertical padding to cells with the \setcellgapes command.

\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage{array, rotating}
\usepackage{multirow, makecell}
\usepackage[a4paper, total={8in, 10in}]{geometry}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}[]
\centering\sffamily
\renewcommand{\theadfont}{\normalsize\bfseries}
\setcellgapes{1ex}\makegapedcells
\begin{tabular}{*{6}{c|}c}
\hline
\multirowthead{2}{Dataset} & \multirowthead{2}{Model} & \multicolumn{4}{c|}{\bfseries Evaluation criteria} & \multirowthead{2}{Rank} \\
\cline{3-6}
 & & \textbf{RMSE} & \textbf{MAPE} & \textbf{MAE} & \textbf{R} & \\
 \hline
\multirow{6}{*}{\turnbox{90}{(A)}} & Proposed & & & & & \\
 \cline{2-7}
 & FN & & & & & \\
 \cline{2-7}
 & NN & & & & & \\
 \cline{2-7}
 & RX & & & & & \\
 \hline
\multirow{6}{*}{\turnbox{90}{(B)}} & Proposed & & & & & \\
 \cline{2-7}
 & FN & & & & & \\
 \cline{2-7}
 & NN & & & & & \\
 \cline{2-7}
 & RX & & & & & \\
 \hline
\multirow{6}{*}{\turnbox{90}{(C)}} & Proposed & & & & & \\
 \cline{2-7}
 & FN & & & & & \\
 \cline{2-7}
 & NN & & & & & \\
 \cline{2-7}
 & ARX & & & & & \\
 \hline
\multirow{6}{*}{\turnbox{90}{(D)}} & Proposed & & & & & \\
 \cline{2-7}
 & FFN & & & & & \\
 \cline{2-7}
 & LNN & & & & & \\
 \cline{2-7}
 & ARX & & & & & \\
 \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

\end{document}
