I wonder if it is possible to create mini cells within a cell just to make a color of? How do you do this? See attached with the grey boxes filled under weeks of the month.

Hi @LillaBjorna ,

if you start from scratch, doing a new table, plan one column for every "mini cell". That are 4 per month.

Later on you could merge the four cells in the row above to get one cell showing the month.

If you already have just one column for every month, just split the cell vertical to get "mini cells".

There is a menu command for this if you select the cell. You have to repeat this two times. And you have to do split cells for every of your month columns.

Actually I am now confused about how to split cells so that they become uneven. I mean if I want 5 cells in a row instead of 4. Is there a smooth way to create that? Or recreate if I already have a table with 4?

The one that is selected - blue outline?

You just need to create as many columns as individual cells - then merge cells to get "wide" column / "high" row.
