I am trying to add a table like below in Latex. Can anyone please help?

Table

Here is the one I have: 

 \documentclass{article} \usepackage[table]{xcolor} \begin{document} \renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.3} {\columncolor{2}{green!80!yellow!50}{green!70!yellow!40} \begin{tabular}{ |p{1cm}|p{1cm} |p{1cm}|p{1cm}| } \hline \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{t = 5} \\ \hline Selection & EC & Selection & EC \\ \hline AF & AF & Selection & EC \\ Ala & ALA & Selection & EC \\ \hline \end{tabular} } \end{document}

However, this alters row color instead of column and also I am unable to add other columns.

UPDATE:

I am trying below code as posted by Bernerd: 

\begin{tabular}{ || *{2}{>{\columncolor{blue!30!white!50}}p{1.5cm}| >{\columncolor{white}}p{1.5cm}|| }} \hline \rowcolor{white} \multicolumn{2}{||c|}{t = 5} & \multicolumn{2}{||c||}{t = 10} \\ \hline \hline Selection & EC & Selection & EC \\ \hline Afghan & AF & Afghan & AF\\ Aland & ALA & Aland & ALA \\ \hline \end{tabular}

However, the column separating lines are not aligned!

    What have you tried? Can you post a compilable document showing what you've managed to do so far? Commented Jul 31, 2019 at 19:35

    You might want to use \columncolor instead or \rowcolor. To add more columns, add as many column specifiers as neede (for example lll for three left aligned columns or |p{3cm}|p{3cm}|p{3cm}| for three columns that are 3 cm wide and are separated by vertical lines.

  • Please also reconsider if using \setlength{\arrayrulewidth}{1mm}\setlength{\tabcolsep}{18pt}\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{2.5} is really a good idea as this will give you extremely wide lines and also quite a lot of empty space aroudn the contents of each cell. If your table will contain 11 columns, you will most likely not fit it onto a page with these settings. Commented Jul 31, 2019 at 20:04
  • I have removed those lines and tried to use \columncolor. It gives me an error in overleaf. Also, I am still unable to add extra columns. Commented Jul 31, 2019 at 20:09

Is this what you want?

\documentclass{article}% \usepackage{geometry} \usepackage[table, svgnames]{xcolor} \usepackage{hhline, booktabs} \begin{document} {\setlength{\arrayrulewidth}{1mm} \setlength{\tabcolsep}{12pt} \renewcommand{\arraystretch}{2.5} \setlength{\aboverulesep}{0pt} \setlength{\belowrulesep}{0pt} \sffamily \begin{tabular}{ |l |*{2}{>{\columncolor{green!80!yellow!50}}p{2.2cm} >{\columncolor{green!50!yellow!40}}p{2.3cm}| }} \hline \rowcolor{white} & \multicolumn{2}{c|}{\bfseries t = 5} & & \\ \hhline{|~|>{\arrayrulecolor{Aquamarine}}-->{\arrayrulecolor{black}}|>{\arrayrulecolor{Aquamarine}}-->{\arrayrulecolor{black}}|} Packet & Selection & EC & Selection & EC \\ \hhline{|~|>{\arrayrulecolor{Aquamarine}}-->{\arrayrulecolor{black}}|>{\arrayrulecolor{Aquamarine}}-->{\arrayrulecolor{black}}|} Switching & Afghanistan & AF & Afghanistan & AF\\ \arrayrulecolor{Aquamarine}\midrule[1.2pt] \arrayrulecolor{black} Energy & Aland Islands & ALA &Aland Islands & ALA \\ \hline \end{tabular} } \end{document}

  • Thank you. The problem is I can't add more column like the fig in my questions. Also, I don't know how to add the leftmost column without any heading. Commented Jul 31, 2019 at 20:07
  • @leandriis: Thanks for editing! Commented Jul 31, 2019 at 20:08
  • @jhon_wick: I've modified my code. Is it more like you want? Commented Jul 31, 2019 at 20:19
  • Thanks. I only need the leftmost columns as shown in the picture. Commented Jul 31, 2019 at 20:24
  • I'm not sure I understand the exact layou you want: the leftmost column should not be coloured, with an empty head, then the other columns should follow a pattern of two colours, with the first row non-coloured, and vertical lines only at both ends of the pattern, but not between the columns inside the pattern?
