    Well if didn't mind a bit of work, make your column title font color white. Capture a pic in Excel, create an image, and voila!:smileywink:

     

    If this solves your issues, please mark it as the solution, so that others can find it easily. Kudos are nice too.

    not a bad idea at all.

    you could take it to the next level and tag each column with the image making it dynamic too. I did something similar with flags on a piece of work, you could apply the same logic....

  • 4 years later, still cannot rotate text...but you could do it in 1990 in Excel..

  • There are nice tricks and workaround, but Microsoft must work on this badly missing feature ASAP..

    I am looking for another solution, but in the mean time... you can use a text box as a title as well and rotate the text veritically

      This is actually a Shape Visual, not a Text Box, FYI.  But you can add Text to a Shape...so at least we have that.  But what if you want to sort based on column?  Now you are covering the column headers... craziness that Microsoft is ignoring these types of capabilities.

    can't be done I'm afraid.

     

    I'm sure there's a request for it to be added to the pipeline, but nothing at the minute.

        That is NOT a good solution.  I have dynamic column headers that may disapear when the user changes filters.  Static column headers is not a perfect solution. I cannot understand why Microsoft had this option in 1990 in Excel but refuses to add this urgent problem for the last 7 years of Power BI... ARGH!!!

      Seriously, is it really impossible to rotate headers into a vertical position? This seems unbelievable.

    Does someone know if due to updates of PowerBi, making headers vertical is possible now?

    You can "Text Wrap" & reduce the size of the columns so that, the text appears vertical. may not be the ideal solution but it`s the best possible solution for now, unil Microsoft adopst this update.
