using Aspose.Slides.Foss.Export;

using var prs = new Presentation();
var slide = prs.Slides[0];

double[] colWidths = { 120, 120, 120 };
double[] rowHeights = { 40, 40, 40 };
var table = slide.Shapes.AddTable(50, 50, colWidths, rowHeights);

// Set cell text
table.Rows[0][0].TextFrame.Text = "Name";
table.Rows[0][1].TextFrame.Text = "Role";
table.Rows[0][2].TextFrame.Text = "Status";

table.Rows[1][0].TextFrame.Text = "Alice";
table.Rows[1][1].TextFrame.Text = "Engineer";
table.Rows[1][2].TextFrame.Text = "Active";

prs.Save("table.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);

Merge Cells

using Aspose.Slides.Foss;
using Aspose.Slides.Foss.Export;

using var prs = new Presentation();
double[] cols = { 100, 100, 100 };
double[] rows = { 40, 40 };
var table = prs.Slides[0].Shapes.AddTable(50, 50, cols, rows);

// Merge the entire first row into one cell
table.MergeCells(table.Rows[0][0], table.Rows[0][2], false);
table.Rows[0][0].TextFrame.Text = "Header spanning all columns";

prs.Save("merged.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
