I am having a dataframe with both character and numeric columns. I am trying to center the character column (which is done) and (I don't know how to) center flushed-right numeric column. Further, both column names are centered:
desired look



Some relevant posts (this and this), but I couldn't incorporate the techniques (if relevant) to my code.



The following code produces the table below:



df <- data.frame(name = c("a", "bb", "ccc"), number = c(10, 193048, 200))

kable(df, format="latex", align = c("c", "r")) %>%
kable_styling(full_width = TRUE) %>%
row_spec(0, align = "c")


current look



I understand that I can use LaTeX code to produce a single user-customised table. But I need the example to be reproducible in Rmd (imagine I have lots of df) and therefore need to specify within kable().



Should I modify the LaTeX table environment (i.e. begintabu to linewidth >centeringX>centeringX) and if so how in R, or use something like multirow to customise the second column??

  • Thank you @Imo, I may have missed it, but I didn't see any info on center and right alignment for the column.

  • This combo does not appear to be possible directly in kable. You may be able to fake it using sprintf with the proper formatting, ie adding enough blank spaces to get it to look good enough. Take a look at the examples in the manual page if you want to give that a try. Alternatively, there are a number of alternative table functions, xtable, and something in hmisc, also the package tables. Good luck.
