I vaguely recall seeing split cells in jupyter notebook. I think this was done via changing the cell style to split. However, I can't find anything in jupyterlab that seems to do that. What I am trying to look for is the functionality to split one cell so that I can easily have a table and a chart next to each other. Is that possible?

For what it's worth, here's a solution for Jupyter Notebook (haven't got a solution for Jupyterlab yet): please see "_Tip 1: Split slides into two columns_" [here](https://www.markroepke.me/posts/2019/06/05/tips-for-slideshows-in-jupyter.html) – eldad-a Apr 30 '20 at 09:14

First install nbextensions:
conda install -c conda-forge jupyter_contrib_nbextensions conda install -c conda-forge jupyter_nbextensions_configurator
Turn on 'split Cells Notebook in the configurator (see picture)
3. Use the addon inside the notebook to split a cell:

The works okay for jupyter notebooks. But it doesn't work jupyter-lab though. – Taras Sereda Aug 14 '23 at 13:20

Just a work-around.
- Create another untitled notebook.
- separate original and new notebooks view in half.
- move the desired cells to other notebook.
(you don't have to execute cells , just copy and paste in other notebook).

1Hi Swapnil. Thanks for your suggestion, but this is not a practical solution. I share workbooks with others, so having two workbooks is not very user friendly, having to scroll them in parallel a pain, ... – chrise Nov 29 '19 at 00:16
