	ColumnLabelMismatch	Column headings are not the proper length. Please make sure it matches the input length.
	FieldsPatternMismatch	The input fields are not a field name or a list of field names. Please make sure they are correct field names.
	RowLabelMismatch	Row headings are not the proper length. Please make sure it matches the input length.
	SecondaryLabelMismatch	The number of secondary headers (`1`) cannot be evenly divided over the number of `2` in the table (`3`). Spanning of secondary headers for `2` have been adjusted. Please modify your SecondaryTableHeadings option if you would specify a different spanning.
	SecondaryLabelsSpanning	The number cells to span (`1`) does not match the number of `2` in the table (`3`). Secondary headers for `2` have been omitted. Please modify your SecondaryTableHeadings option if you would like to include these headers.
	TooManySecondaryLabels	The number of secondary headers (`1`) exceeds the number of `2` in the table (`3`). Secondary headers for `2` have been omitted. Please modify your SecondaryTableHeadings option if you would like to include these headers.
