Split head titles into two lines to fix overwide table in

Question

I've got the head titles constituted by two words and the table is therefore too wide. I tried in word with the same table. If the titles could be split into two lines with each word in a line, the table would be perfectly fixed in. However, I have viewed most of related answers and couldn't work it out in texstudio. I would appreciate a lot if you could help!

Yes, I've viewed this answer and that script ran perfectly. But after adding related lines into my script, it ran into errors. I think the problem might be that the line break sign cannot be applied in the \multicolumn? — Justin Junfei Zhu, Jul 15 '17 at 11:33
You don't need \multicolumn for the cells with the line-break. And if you have a problem using an already existing answer you should ask a followup question (mostly with link to the already existing one) which shows your problem using the existing answer. In this case we can react on your specific problem. Without it is almost the same question and we would mark it as duplicate. — Schweinebacke, Jul 15 '17 at 12:15

Like this?

You have more issues than just break cell content to more line. To fix them, I took the following measures:

for multi line headers is used \makecell{...} from makcell package
corrected is spacing between columns
instead of D column is used S column from siunitx package (gives less spacing between columns) -use small font size, otherwise your table is to tall
reduce size of \addlinspace from default value to 2pt
