    Hi db042190,

     

    I don't think there is a direct way to rotate the textbox in Power BI currently. Here is a similar idea shared on Power BI Ideas forum. You can vote it up and add your comments there to improve Power BI on this feature.

     

    In addition, follow is a workaround mentioned this thread. Could you go to check if it helps in your scenario. :smileyhappy:

    • 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

    Regards

not as much control as you'd like but ok for now.

    looks impossible to make 2 of these look identical.

      and lately when i open the report, my text doesnt show until i expand (by dragging right side) the chart and then squeeze it back down (by dragging it back left).
