I'm trying to generate a table in beamer like the one in the picture below

Original Table

The problem is that In the last part of the table, there are lesser columns.

I tried to overcome this issue with a combination of multicolumn and tabular. However, so far I only managed to get misaligned columns standing at the center of the table. Is there a way to get the last columns to fill the whole table width, like the ones in the picture?

Thank you very much for your support.

Best regards Code generated table

But this is far from the table in the picture. The second tabular doesn't have the same width as the first one and also the two tabulars seem to be apart from each other, despite belonging to the same table. This is the result:enter image description here

    Why don't you do two tabulars one under the other?

    I agree with @CarLaTeX, make two tabulars. If you place them in the same table environment, they will share one caption etc.

  • Please have a look at tex.stackexchange.com/questions/425453/… Instead of scaling your table, I suggest to use a smaller font size

  • Thank you very much for your replies. I used the two tabular strategy you suggested, but I still couldn't replicate the structure of the table in the first picture. The second tabular doesn't have the same width and it seems apart from the first one. Nevertheless I believe we are getting closer. Thank you. I edited my post with the solution I tried

I would use a tabular* environment for the upper table; that way, you can ensure that it fits inside the text block. Conversely, I would not use a table environment at all; instead, stick the caption into the argument of \frametitle. I would also use bold-facing much more sparingly; actually, I wouldn't use it at all for this table.
