I am trying to make the follwing longtable shown in the picture below enter image description here

I have however two questions ?

  1. How can I center the items of the 1st,2nd,3rd and 5th column ( Rotation, Material etc..)
  2. How can I set the width of the 3 column (a lot of white space)

I would be very thankful if anybody could give me a hint here.

Here is the code I used

    \usepackage[ngerman]{babel} 
    
    %Tabellen
    
    \usepackage{longtable}                                      % Paket für Tabellen, die über mehrere Seiten gehen
    
    \usepackage{multicol} 
    
    \usepackage{array}  
    
    \usepackage{caption}  
    
    \begin{document}
    
    \centering
    
    
    \begin{longtable}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
    
    \caption[Darstellung der verschiedenen Parameter beider Versuchsgeneratoren]{Darstellung der verschiedenen Parameter beider Versuchsgeneratoren} \label{tab:Darstellung der verschiedenen Parameter beider Versuchsgeneratoren} \\

    I think that will work as well , I haven't thought about it. I don't use the P declaration mostly because it influences the spacing in the cell when long sentences are used inside a cell.

Like this:

With tabularray package is simple. All columns except firs has equal width and contents in them are centered.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{tabularray} 
\usepackage{caption}

\begin{document}
    \begin{longtblr}[

                     colspec={c *{6}{X[c]}},
                     colsep=4pt,

                     rowhead=2
                     }

  • @Zarko good and wise solution. But I didn't get how come the "Polschuh " column appears without \SetCell [] ... I just have similiar table columns and rows merging job and it isn't still done, that's why I'm asking

    @Programmer1988, I do not understand what is your problem. for column header of the last column you not need \SetCell instruction. Fromation of the first two rows is determined by row{1-2} = {font=\small\bfseries, c, b}, in preamble, which say: text in those rows are boldface, horizontal centered in cells and at bottom aligned. For better answer/help consider to ask a question where explain, what is your problem.
