Use this package at the front of the latex file \usepackage{multirow}
The MultiRow macro package provides the \multirow command to compose text that spans more than two lines in a table. The format of the command is as follows:
\multirow{nrows}[bigstructs]{width}[fixup]{text}
Nrows sets the number of rows occupied.
Bigstructs This is optional, mainly when you use the BIGSTRUCT macro package.
Widths sets the width of the column text. If you want LaTeX to decide the width of the text itself, use *.
Fixup this is optional and is used primarily to adjust the vertical position of the text.
Text to be typeset. You can use \ \ To force a line break.

de style= "" >\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
\multirow{2}{*}{multi-row} &
\multicolumn{2}{c|} {multi-column} &
\multicolumn{2}{c|} {\multirow{2}{*}{multi-row and Col}} \ \
\cline{2-3}
& column-1 & column-2 & \multicolumn{2}{c| } {} \
