Top & middle left alignment of text inside cell

Question

How make top left alignment (yellow rectangle) and middle left alignment (red rectangle) of text inside cell?

I've tried a lot different options, I think alignment should be specified directly in cell; not in begining of table in my case.

\topleftalignment{Klient:}

welcome to tex.se! please, reduce your document example only to table. now is to easy going to lost in your code. for vertical centering of text in rows with images you need to move image baseline to the middle of figure. this can be done on many ways. one of it is use adjustbox and his macro valign=c. for an example see http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/270582/. — Zarko, Jul 06 '18 at 09:35
you miss understood me. we need complete document which contain only table. all stuff regarding headers, footers etc are superfluous. in preamble should be only packages needed to compile your table. do you look given link? it could solve problem, i thing. — Zarko, Jul 06 '18 at 09:59
Hi @Zarko, I have reduced document example with only table in it. I have tried with \multicolumn{3}{c}{\includegraphics[valign=c,scale=0.2]{example-image-a}} as you told me. This caused whole row to be centered, I like 2nd and 3rd column getting centered, but can I make top left alignment of 1st colum? Thank you in advance! I will put updated output of code in post. — Beginner, Jul 06 '18 at 10:00

You can easily obtain cells in the same row centred w.r.t. the image, with the option align=c that package graphbox adds to \includegraphics.

As to having one cell in the row top-aligned, you can do that with a hack: using \multirow{-n}, where n is a number of lines found by trial and error.

Hi @Bernard, first of all thank you for your help! You have put \setcellgapes{3pt}\makegapedcells into my code, this is option for additional gape in whole table. I would like to add gapes only in two rows where I have put my figures. Is that possible? — Beginner, Jul 06 '18 at 11:29
@DominikGečević: Yes. You can use \Gape[3pt]{\includegraphics{...}} instead. This is explained in § 2 of the doc of makecell (p. 7). — Bernard, Jul 06 '18 at 16:09
