I would like the table to be on the same page as the \subsection and the line of text before the table.
How do I do that?

Furthermore, I would the the three columns under ``St{\o}rrelsesforhold'' to be of equal width and the sum of the widths equal to the width of the ``St{\o}rrelsesforhold'' box. (I.e., I would each column to have 1/3 the width of the ``St{\o}rrelsesforhold'' box.)
How do I do that?

Thank you in advance!

If you can help me with just one of the problems, I would still very much like to hear from you.

Best regards.

The used environment always starts a new page and occupies it completely. Try one of the other environments provided by the rotating package.

Maybe I should read the manual a bit more thoroughly next time. Thank you, Thorsten, for pointing me in the right direction.
