Change column specification for single specific cells
Say I have a table with some data, a header row and a summary. The table has specific column specifications, like below
documentclass{article}
setlengthparskip{1em}
begin{document}
% Consider this table:
begin{tabular}{l@{~--~}l}%<- Makes a dash between columns
NODASH1 & NODASH2 \hline
beforedash & afterdash \
beforedash & afterdash \hline
Sum & NODASH!
end{tabular}
Below, a possible workaround that I don't really fancy
defnodash#1{multicolumn{1}{l}{#1}}
% Now using the nodash to remove the dashes that I don't want
begin{tabular}{l@{~--~}l}
nodash{NODASH1} & NODASH2 \hline
beforedash & afterdash \
beforedash & afterdash \hline
nodash{Sum} & NODASH!
end{tabular}
end{document}
Which produces the following output:
So I'm looking for a more canonical way to produce the bottom table.
Any ideas?

Your write-up and code are slightly confusing. E.g., what is the purpose of the third column in bothtabularenvironments?

@Mico yup - that was very confusing, and there wasn't supposed to be a third column! Is it clear now?

Another issue with your posting is that the title contains the qualifier "for only one single row". However, a careful reading of your posting suggests that you actually wish to change the column specification for two cells, not for one row. You may want to edit your posting to eliminate the need for people to guess as to what you really want to achieve...

Using multicolumn{1} is the intended interface to specifying a different layout for heading or other rows. Note that you can get away with the simple
multicolumn{1}{l}{...}
here as it is a left-aligned column.
For a right (or center) aligned column you would need
multicolumn{1}{r@{phantom{~--~}}{#1}}
so that the alignment didn't spread into the inter-column space generated by the @ expression in the main tabular preamble.
