Rotate a Textbox
I have a grid of 9 tables on a report page that summarrize 3 different attributes Vs 3 other attributes. I would like to rotate a textbox 90 degrees to lable the Row of tables. Seems like a basi...
You could add a shape, remove Outline, remove fill, add text and rotate 🙂
I was shocked to see the answers in this thread regarding not being able to rotate the contents of a textbox. This is a BASIC element for Enterprise reporting.
I just figured out a workaround for this item that I am being forced to utilize because I refuse to take no for an answer when needing to distribute a report.
Hopefully this works for anyone reading this post:
- I created a stacked bar chart
- Go to the format for the newly created bar chart
- Turn off all formatting options, EXCEPT for the "Y-Axis"
- Expand the Y-Axis formatting options
- Scroll down, or locate the "Axis title" property
- Input your text
- Set "Title text size" to an appropriate size.
- Set "Font family" to an appropriate font
This is nothing more than a workaround, and I may have to deploy this using this workaround.
Cheers
Nice one! Its high time Microsoft got this simple feature to a text box. wonder if we have a custom visual which does that yet?
