I saw a table created in PowerPoint and wanted to know how to do it in LaTeX. The table is shown below. The aspects of the table that I'm most interested in are the rotated table headers as well as Knowledge Areas and Process labels outside the table.

Here is what I've come up with so far after seeing Rotated column titles in tabular
suggested in the comments (thanks!)

    documentclass{article}

usepackage{adjustbox}

usepackage{array}

usepackage{booktabs}

usepackage{multirow}



newcolumntype{R}[2]{%

    >{adjustbox{angle=#1,lap=width-(#2)}bgroup}%

    l%

    <{egroup}%

}

newcommand*rot{multicolumn{1}{R{90}{1em}}}% no optional argument here, please!



begin{document}



begin{table} centering

    begin{tabular}{clcccccccccc}

        & & multicolumn{10}{c}{Knowledge Areas} \

        & & rot{Integration} & rot{Scope} & rot{Time} & rot{Cost} 

        & rot{Quality} & rot{Human Resource} & rot{Communication} 

        & rot{Risk} & rot{Procurement} & rot{Stakeholder Management} \

        midrule

        multirow{5}{*}{{Processes}}

        & Initiating             & * &   &   &   &   &   & * &   &   & * \

        & Planning               & * & * & * & * & * & * & * & * & * & * \

        & Executing              & * &   &   &   & * & * & * &   & * & * \

        & Monitoring and Control & * & * & * & * & * &   & * & * & * & * \

        & Closing                & * &   &   &   &   &   & * &   & * & * \

        bottomrule

    end{tabular}

    caption{Some caption}

end{table}



end{document}

With the result looking like:

I'm not so concerned about the row coloring (sorry, should have mentioned that before). There are just a few things I don't know how to do:

1. How can I make Stakeholder Management stack on top of each other?


2. How can I rotate Processes on the left-hand side? The rot command I used in the table header didn't work, presumably because it is in the multirow command.

Using rlap makes it easier to position text without additional space. And if you want the label "Processes" outside then use cmidrule{2-12} and cmidrule[1pt]{2-12} instead.

When I tried to read your table, I found it impossible to read the column headings because of the rotation, which is why I recommend a solution without rotation. All it is is a simple reorganisation of the rows and columns.

It isn't perfect. Perhaps aligning the Processes to the right is better.

You can simplify the table as well because all knowledge areas require planning, so why put it in the table? Just mention it in the caption. Removing the column for planning should make the table less wide, which is always a good thing because it makes it easier to scan the table from left to right and back.
