Change axis text to vertical

Hi all,

 

Is it possible to change the axis text in a matrix to vertical?

HI @HenryJS,

AFAIK, the matrix visual does not support to display the columns vertically. (for similar feature, it only existed an option to display the value as row that amitchandak mentioned)
Maybe you can submit an idea for your requirement to idea forum to help improve power bi visuals.

Regards,

@HenryJS , Are you planning to display name vertically, I doubt that.

 

But if you want to measure on the row. There is an option. Show on Row.
