# Auto Column Width

 * I have created a table that has 3 rows and 2 columns.
 * The columns on the first 2 rows are combined with the #colspan# tag on the 2nd
   column, since I want them to be merged.
 * However, the columns on the 3rd row do not have the same width.
 * I have tried the following with no success: [table id=2 column_widths=”50%|50%”/]
 * How can I make the columns on the 3rd row have the same width?
 * Thank you

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * For this, you should not use the `column_widths` Shortcode parameter, but CSS
   code. Have you tried the code from the TablePress FAQ at [http://tablepress.org/faq/column-widths/](http://tablepress.org/faq/column-widths/)?
   
   If so, can you please post a link to the page with the table where this problem
   happens, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!
 * (And don’t forget that your (visually) second column is technically the third,
   so you will need to use `.column-3`.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Good day,
 * Thank you for the very fast reply!
    I managed to edit it as I wanted with the
   CSS code. I was using the wrong column number!
 * Thank you once again
