Vertical column labels in table and matrix

I have many column headings which are quite long. In Excel I can change the text alignment so the column heading runs vertically rather than horizontally. By using a smaller font it can display a lot more information this way. Now that you have added vertical data labelling to charts can we have similar functionality in the tables and matrices?

Make possible to rotate the column header so that they appear vertical. It's very usefull for the case that I have a number of columns and the names of each column is a rather long text, hence it makes the matrix's width large even though the actual cells just hold a number. Format-wise, it can be much more pleasant if the column heades could have appeared vertically to save space rather than the default horizontal.

It would be useful to be able to change the orientation of column headers from a horizontal to vertical state. This would allow to save on screen estate and minimise the use of the horizontal scroll-bar. Thanks, Ajay

How to make table visualisation header text vertically in power BI

It's faster to get a law passed in congress then getting a response on a hugely beneficial request from Microsoft. BTW, such feature has been in Excel since the 80's...

This feedback process is pointless... it's practically never updated. This is a new idea digital cemetery.

You can change column header orientation just like excel using Inforiver. Check out this blog for a quick video.

How is it that this is not possible? This issue has been sitting here gathering pond scum for seven years!

Excel, Tableau, and even SSRS make this possible with 2 or 3 clicks of the mouse.

My hatred of power bi burns with the fire of a thousand suns.
