I'm having trouble rotating a textbox in PBI Report Builder. From my understanding I need to click the box, but not the text itself, and then under Localization change WritingMode to Rotate270. When I run the report however the text displays normally and not rotated. What am I missing?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Issue was that margins needed to be adjusted
Did you do a CTRL + S to save ?
Yes, I've saved the report. The text still displays horizontally when the report is run
In a paginated report, you can rotate a text box in different directions:
Horizontally
Vertically (rotated 90 degrees, with text reading from top to bottom, except East Asian text characters)
Rotated by 270 degrees (text reading from bottom to top).
Because you rotate the text box not the text, the rotation applies to all the text in the text box. You cannot specify different directions for parts of the text. Size the column width and the row height manually to accommodate the rotated text.
The WritingMode property, which you use to specify text orientation, isn't in the Text Box Properties dialog box. It's in the Properties pane and set the property there.
See original post, that is what I did. The text appears to have rotated while in design view but when I run it it goes back to standard.
