Sideways (rotated 90 degrees) label for table

Question

How can I create the following table in LaTeX? I created the table below using PowerPoint.

enter image description here

Here is my best attempt at using LaTeX to create the table:

\begin{tabular}{l|l|l|}
  \cline{2-3} 
  & \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{Returning Week} \\ \cline{2-3}
    & 1 & 2 \\ \hline
  \multicolumn{1}{|l|}{1} & 0.3 & 0.2 \\ \hline
  \multicolumn{1}{|l|}{2} & 0.1 & 0.1 \\ \hline
\end{tabular}

and the output

Sideways label for table with alternating row colours includes a more extensive example of a table that includes this feature, but it is hard to parse because it includes many other features.
How to make table with rotated table headers in LaTeX likewise has a table with many many entries, so is hard to parse as well

From the first linked question, all you need is the rotating package and its sideways environment. Please add your code for the table (without the rotated label, of course). — karlkoeller, Aug 22 '13 at 16:53
@karlkoeller Done! It does look ugly that the columns 1 and 2 have different widths. How should I fix that? — I Like to Code, Aug 22 '13 at 18:41

Similar to Steven's solution, but reproduces almost exactly the table in your image.

You have to compile it with xelatex.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{fontspec}
\defaultfontfeatures{Ligatures=TeX}
\setmainfont{Calibri}

\renewcommand\arraystretch{1.15}

\begin{document}

\raisebox{-1.4cm}{\rotatebox{90}{Arriving Week}}\hspace{3pt}
\begin{tabular}{|p{2.5cm}|p{2.5cm}|p{2.5cm}|}
  \multicolumn{1}{l}{}  & \multicolumn{2}{l}{\hspace{1.1cm}Returning Week} \\ \cline{2-3}
  \multicolumn{1}{l|}{} & 1 & 2 \\ \hline
  1 & 0.3 & 0.2 \\ \hline
  2 & 0.1 & 0.1 \\ \hline
\end{tabular}

\end{document}

You can easily construct that tabular with {NiceTabular} of nicematrix.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{nicematrix}
\begin{document}
\begin{NiceTabular}{*{3}{w{c}{2cm}}}[first-col,first-row,hvlines,corners=NW]
& & \Block{1-2}{Returning week} \
\Block{3-1}<\rotate>{Arriving week}& & 1 & 2 \
& 1 & 0.3 & 0.2 \
& 2 & 0.1 & 0.1 \
\end{NiceTabular}
\end{document}

You need several compilations (because nicematrix uses PGF/Tikz nodes).
