Hi everyone,

I'm writing to you to ask f anybody has managed to rotate the text in a cell in the table component of the report module. Here is an example of the cell text I would like to rotate :

The roll property of the text doesn't work, since it is rotation the whole cell and I can't afford that. Is there any solution for that ?

Thank you !

I’m not clear on what you want here – how is rotating the text different than selecting the cell and using roll?

Thank you for you answer.  
Here is what I get if I try to use the roll property ;

I have a lot of columns to display, and with the roll i can’t even display them all within the frame  
The problem is that my height is not constant, and I can’t change it since it’s the same for all the cells of one row

I found out that if you set no column mode, you can add labels - this solution works, but you need to align everything manually.
