How to set column width that table aligns automatic with merged cells?
1
What I want to do is make a table in the format that I have showed below. At the moment the width of the columns is different and the table is to wide for the page. It looks as following:
What I am trying to do is
1) set the table to be as wide as the text, so that it takes up maximum space within the margins
2) set that column 2, 3 and 4 that contain the results are the same width.
begin{table}[H] centering caption{X} label{X}
begin{tabular}{cccc}
textbf{References} & textbf{Results 1} & textbf{Results 2} & textbf{Results 3} \hlinehline

with tabularx is no need to nest tables:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{geometry}
usepackage{booktabs, tabularx}
usepackage[skip=1ex]{caption}
begin{document}
begin{table}[htb]
caption{X}
label{X}
begin{tabularx}{linewidth}{@{} l *{3}{>{centeringarraybackslash}X} @{}}
toprule
textbf{References} & textbf{Results 1} & textbf{Results 2} & textbf{Results 3} \

instead of horizontally centered cells text i would rather have left aligned, i.e. instead of >{centeringarraybackslash}X use >{raggedrightarraybackslash}X

+1. Since there are no vertical rules in the table, one can (should...) omit thearrayrulewidthadjustment.
