Suppose there are nth columns in my TableForm of data. Mathematica enables users to label their header. However, is there a way to add header only the nth column? What about adding headings to a set of columns between the $i^{th}$ and $j^{th}$ column?

    $\begingroup$ You could just use an empty string ("") for each of the columns where you don't want a heading. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ headings=ReplacePart[ConstantArray["", 1000], 950 -> "Your Title"] Creates an array of 1000 empty strings then replaces the 950th with a title. $\endgroup$

Something like

makeHeadings[{imax_Integer, jmax_Integer}, headings, len_Integer] := 
   Join[Table["", {imax - 1}], headings, Table["", {len - jmax}]]

Usage:

makeHeadings[{3, 5}, {"a", "b", "c"}, 8]
{"", "", "a", "b", "c", "", "", ""}

Then,

TableForm[Array[a, {3, 8}], TableHeadings -> {None, makeHeadings[{3, 5}, {"a", "b", "c"}, 8]}]

enter image description here

Maybe you can use the grid?

Grid[{{Text["Cln2"], SpanFromLeft}, {a, b, c}, {d, e, f}, {g, h, i}}, Spacings -> {2, 2}]

or as @march suggested:

TableForm[{{a, b, c}, {d, e, f}, {g, h, i}}, TableHeadings -> {None, {"", "Cln2", ""}}]
(*But there is a line above the table*)
