How to color crossed out cell?

Question

I crossed out the letter K using the answer given here... cross out arbitrary cells Then I colored the row using \cellcolor, but the cell, which is crossed out is only half filled... What do I need to change to color the whole cell...?

This is my code...

One possibility is to, instead of using \strike, use the \cancel feature of the cancel package. The only quirk is that it operates in math mode, so I needed to use $\cancel{\mbox{K}}$ .

\documentclass[titlepage=true, 12pt]{scrartcl}

\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[a4paper, text={16.5cm, 25.2cm}, centering]{geometry}

\usepackage{newtxtext,newtxmath,cancel}
\setkomafont{disposition}{\normalfont\bfseries}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\setlength{\parskip}{1.2ex}
\setlength{\parindent}{0em}

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}

\fancyhf{}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\fancyhead[L]{Name}
\fancyfoot[C]{\thepage}

\usepackage{xcolor,stackengine}

\newcommand\splat[3][white]{%
  \colorbox{#1}{~~\sffamily\stackon{\fbox{\makebox[3ex]{\large\strut #2}}}{#3}~~}%
}

\usepackage{colortbl}

\newcounter{NoTableEntry}
\renewcommand*{\theNoTableEntry}{NTE-\the\value{NoTableEntry}}

\newcommand*{\strike}[2]{%
  \multicolumn{1}{#1}{%
    \stepcounter{NoTableEntry}%
    \vadjust pre{\zsavepos{\theNoTableEntry t}}% top
    \vadjust{\zsavepos{\theNoTableEntry b}}% bottom
    \zsavepos{\theNoTableEntry l}% left
    \hspace{0pt plus 1filll}%
    #2% content
    \hspace{0pt plus 1filll}%
    \zsavepos{\theNoTableEntry r}% right
    \tikz[overlay]{%
      \draw
        let
          \n{llx}={\zposx{\theNoTableEntry l}sp-\zposx{\theNoTableEntry r}sp-\tabcolsep},
          \n{urx}={\tabcolsep},
          \n{lly}={\zposy{\theNoTableEntry b}sp-\zposy{\theNoTableEntry r}sp},
          \n{ury}={\zposy{\theNoTableEntry t}sp-\zposy{\theNoTableEntry r}sp}
        in
        (\n{llx}, \n{lly}) -- (\n{urx}, \n{ury})
      ;
    }% 
  }%
}




    \begin{document}

    \newcolumntype{L}[1]{>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}p{#1}}
    \newcolumntype{C}[1]{>{\centering\arraybackslash}p{#1}}
    \newcolumntype{R}[1]{>{\raggedleft\arraybackslash}p{#1}}

    \setlength{\extrarowheight}{5pt}
    \setlength{\tabcolsep}{6pt}

    \adjustbox{valign=t}{\begin{minipage}[t]{0.63\textwidth}

    \begin{tabular}{|C{0.8cm}|L{8cm}|}

    \hline
    A & peu de cours \\
    \hline
    B &  la confiance en soi\\
    \hline
    C &  se trouve le village du Père Noël \\
    \hline
    D & début de semestre\\
    \hline
    E &  à augmenter la fréquentation de la ville\\
    \hline
    F & des ours polaires \\
    \hline
    G & fin de semestre\\
    \hline
    H & beaucoup de cours \\
    \hline
    I & nous a permis de nous intégrer plus facilement \\
    \hline
    J & une magnifique aurore boréale \\
    \hline
    \cellcolor{gray!30}$\cancel{\mbox{K}}$ &\cellcolor{gray!30} les gens sont quasiment tous bilingues en anglais \\
    \hline
    \end{tabular}

    \end{minipage}}
    \adjustbox{valign=t}{\begin{minipage}[t]{0.36\textwidth}

    \Shortstack[l]{
    \splat[gray!30]{K}{0}\splat{}{1}\splat{}{2}\splat{}{3}
    \splat{}{4}\splat{}{5}\splat{}{6}\splat{}{7}
    \splat{}{8}}

    \end{minipage}}


    \end{document}

One can then play games to fudge it:

\hline
\cellcolor{gray!30}\makebox[0pt]{$\cancel{\makebox[5.7ex]{%
  K\rule[-3ex]{0pt}{5.5ex}}}$} &%
  \cellcolor{gray!30} les gens sont quasiment tous bilingues en anglais \\
\hline

Here is the result

@Sebastiano And you deserve a +2 for your enthusiasm for LaTeX. — Steven B. Segletes, May 23 '17 at 12:12
AHAHAH. :-) I just saw but did not have to return the +2. You run, like so many others, that I know a lot and excellent work. I voted positively because they are done very well. — Sebastiano, May 23 '17 at 12:15
@Sebastiano The desire to encourage others is a great virtue. I can always count on you for such encouragement. It is infectious. — Steven B. Segletes, May 23 '17 at 12:18
Your solution works really well, but one of the advantages of \strike is, that the the lign is automatically adjusted to the width and height of the cell, so you don't have to play around every time, which can be quite time consuming if you need to use that code a lot... Is there a way to change it, so that the line adjust itself? — Katharina, May 25 '17 at 20:39
@Katharina There is no easy fix. The width is approximately the width of "K" plus 2\tabcolsep. The height is approximately 2\normalbaselineskip plus a few points (unless you have modified \arraystretch). — Steven B. Segletes, May 26 '17 at 01:03
@StevenB.Segletes thank you for that tipp! I inserted two \ spaces before and after the K and now the whole cell is gray :) — Katharina, May 26 '17 at 07:12

With {NiceTabular} of nicematrix, you can easily draw whatever rule you want in your tabular with TikZ because nicematrix creates PGF/TikZ nodes under the cells, rows and columns of the tabular for you.

Here, the instruction to strike your cell is \tikz \draw (12-|1) -- (11-|2) ; in the \CodeAfter of the environment {NiceTabular}.

\usepackage{stackengine}
\usepackage{nicematrix}
\newcommand\splat[3][white]{%
  \colorbox{#1}{\sffamily\stackon{\fbox{\makebox[3ex]{\large\strut #2}}}{#3}}%
}
\begin{document}
\setlength{\extrarowheight}{5pt}
\setlength{\tabcolsep}{6pt}

\end{NiceTabular}

You need several compilations.
