[Tex/LaTex] Problem with multicolumn color tables

colormultirowtables

edition might be grateful since i don´t know how to name this problem.

English is not my native idioms. Also I don't know how to interpret this problem as well on so apologies in advance.

I am working on a table and i want it to look like this one:

After some time I made it to look like it with this code:

\end{footnotesize}
\end{adjustwidth}
\end{table}

\end{document}

The result of the code looks like the image below and this where my problem comes out:
notice the white space near the cells

How do i remove the blank space right to each cell? I been searching over it on the code but i can't find where it is wrong.

I don't think that specifying the column width is the way to go; let LaTeX do the job.

If you want to have the exact size, you can do it in a second step: in the first step you typeset the table and find the widest header, in this case

(Todos los vehículos)

and add some padding, setting a length parameter; then you ensure that a box as wide as that length is in each header.

[Tex/LaTex] problem with \ifthenelse + multicolumn

\multicolumn must be the first thing TeX sees in a table cell, after expanding commands; unfortunately, the workings of \ifthenelse leave something before \multicolumn when the test is computed false.

Use a different test making command: in this case, \ifboolexpe from etoolbox (notice the final "e"), might seem promising.

Unfortunately, also the way etoolbox implements the string equality test leads to unexpandable commands before TeX can see \multicolumn, so a direct approach must be used:

\documentclass{article}
\makeatletter
\newcommand{\roystreqtest}[2]{%
  \ifnum\pdfstrcmp{#1}{#2}=\z@
    \expandafter\@firstoftwo
  \else
    \expandafter\@secondoftwo
  \fi}
\makeatother
\newcommand{\essai}[1]{%
  \begin{tabular}{cc}
  a&b \\ \hline
  \roystreqtest{#1}{coucou}%
    {\multicolumn{2}{|c|}{oui - #1} \\ \hline}
    {non&#1 \\ \hline} 
  \end{tabular}%
}

\begin{document}
\essai{coucou}

\essai{noncoucou}
\end{document}

If you have to compare strings that are not made only of ASCII printable characters, it's safer to say

\newcommand{\roystreqtest}[2]{%
  \ifnum\pdfstrcmp{\detokenize{#1}}{\detokenize{#2}}=\z@
    \expandafter\@firstoftwo
  \else
    \expandafter\@secondoftwo
  \fi}

If you're bold, you can use an already defined infrastructure: LaTeX3 provides an expandable equality test for strings: the definition of \roystreqtest can be

\usepackage{expl3}
\ExplSyntaxOn
\cs_set_eq:NN \roystreqtest \str_if_eq:nnTF
\ExplSyntaxOff

and the rest would be the same.

[Tex/LaTex] Color and rules in tables with multirow

Always supply a complete, but minimal document. Yours is missing \documentclass as well as \begin and \end document. It is also missing the loading of xcolor (for the color names like gray!25) and rotating (for the sideways environment). To color the whole multirow you need to color all three cells of it. Also, your use of \multirow is incorrect. If you want to put the text into the cells above it, the number should be negative. If you do that, you don't need the optional adjustments of [7mm] nor the \qquads. I've done a few other things I think make the result better: Taking Exp out of math mode, putting the numbers after \alpha= into math mode, removing some errant spaces, and removing most of the vertical lines:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multirow,xcolor,colortbl,rotating}
\begin{document}
\noindent\begin{tabular}{ll|cccccc|}  \cline{3-8} \cline{3-8}
   &&\multicolumn{3}{c} {\cellcolor{gray!25} Cram\'er von Mises}&
     \multicolumn{3}{c|}{\cellcolor{gray!25} Anderson-Darling}\\
  \cline{3-8} \cline{3-8}
   &&\cellcolor{gray!25}$\alpha=0.1 $ &\cellcolor{gray!25}$\alpha=0.05$&
     \cellcolor{gray!25}$\alpha=0.01$ &\cellcolor{gray!25}$\alpha=0.1 $&
     \cellcolor{gray!25}$\alpha=0.05$ &\cellcolor{gray!25}$\alpha=0.01$\\
  \hline
  \multicolumn{1}{|c}{\cellcolor{gray!25}} & \cellcolor{gray!25}n=25 & 0.106 & 
    0.063 & 0.015 & 0.107 & 0.052 & 0.012 \\
  \multicolumn{1}{|c}{\cellcolor{gray!25}} & \cellcolor{gray!25}n=50 & 0.107 & 
    0.043 & 0.010 & 0.103 & 0.054 & 0.010 \\
  \multicolumn{1}{|c}{\cellcolor{gray!25}%
    \multirow{-3}{*}{\begin{sideways}Exp$(1)$\end{sideways}}}&
    \cellcolor{gray!25}n=100 & 0.104 & 0.065 & 0.017 & 0.110 & 0.055 & 0.015 \\
  \hline
  \multicolumn{1}{|c}{\cellcolor{gray!25}} & \cellcolor{gray!25}n=25 & 0.113 &
    0.055 & 0.014 & 0.097 & 0.058 & 0.016 \\
  \multicolumn{1}{|c}{\cellcolor{gray!25}} & \cellcolor{gray!25}n=50 & 0.109 & 
    0.058 & 0.014 & 0.098 & 0.056 & 0.018 \\
  \multicolumn{1}{|c}{\cellcolor{gray!25}%
    \multirow{-3}{*}{\begin{sideways}Exp$(2)$\end{sideways}}}&
    \cellcolor{gray!25}n=100 & 0.110 & 0.048 & 0.011 & 0.108 & 0.044 & 0.009  \\
  \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

(I've also broken the lines so people reading this don't have to scroll three screens over to see the whole code.)
