I have many column headings which are quite long. In Excel I can change the text alignment so the column heading runs vertically rather than horizontally. By using a smaller font it can display a lot more information this way. Now that you have added vertical data labelling to charts can we have similar functionality in the tables and matrices?

- Yes. Additionally it would be very nice to Align Headers Left/Right/Centered. Also the ability to rotate headlines 90° or 270°. This is convinient if values takes up little space, but headlines a lot more...
- This is essential to make the visual properly aligned and improve the readability
- I could really use this feature as well.
- This idea is the same, but has more votes. Please vote for it! https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/19124698-vertical-column-labels-in-table-and-matrix Also this idea is for vertical text in text boxes.

- This would be great, as Poul wrote. We have KPIs, that are just little squares, but the names for these KPIs are much longer. Vertical alignment of the column header would make the table better readable and smaller. Thank you in advance for this feature.
- Must have for executive type summaries where you want to pack a lot of information on one table/page with color coding. BTW, thank you for conditional formatting update much appreciated!

- Another vote from me - I finally got around to rebuilding an arduous Excel report into Power BI, but the execs don't like it because the many column headers we need make it a mile long. And if they don't want to use it, they won't upgrade to PRO...
- Another vote, I could really do with this for reporting on AD group membership
- Essential. Otherwise Matrix is pretty much useless
