Hi,

I want to make a table with multicolumns.
The layout should be like this:

| A | B | C |
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 0 |

How can I do this

Thanx

If I understund the ASCII-art, then I think that it's not the result the
OP want.

Something like that?

\documentclass{article}

\newcommand\vl{\hfil\hspace*{\tabcolsep}
\vrule\hspace*{\tabcolsep}\hfil}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{|l|c|}
A & B \vl C \\
1 & 2 \vl 3 \vl 4 \\
5 & 6 \vl 7 \vl 8 \vl 9 \vl 0 \\
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

The thing is that all the cells should be a different width.

Isn't it the case with my solution? Well... "*all* the cells" is
somewhere not very serious. I have the feeling that I don't understand
what you are looking for.

What I'm looking for is something like this:

A(2cm) & B(1cm) & C(5cm)
1(2cm) & 2(2cm) & 3(2cm) & 4(2mc)
5(1.3cm)& 6(1.3cm) & 7(1.3cm) & 8(1.3cm) & 9(1.3cm) & 0(1.3cm)

You mean something like the following?

\documentclass{minimal}

\begin{document}

\newcommand*\dobox[2]{%
\makebox[#1]{\hfill#2\hfill\textbar}%
}

\fontsize{10pt}{10pt}\selectfont
\noindent
\textbar\dobox{2cm}{A}\dobox{1cm}{B}\dob
ox{1cm}{C} \\
\textbar\dobox{2cm}{1}\dobox{2cm}{2}\dob
ox{2cm}{3}\dobox{2cm}{4} \\
\textbar\dobox{1.3cm}{5}\dobox{1.3cm}{6}\dobox{1.3cm}{7}\dobox{1.3cm}{8}%
\dobox{1.3cm}{9}\dobox{1.3cm}{0}

\end{document}
