Please add a basic feature with ability to rotate a text box. In many report I would like to use screen real estate effectively by having text vertically on the left allowing full height for visuals. All Office apps have this basic feature.

Have Rotation option under Format shape, and text is rotated on y-axis labels.

How is this not already a feature? Seems ridiculous.

We have resorted to using R visuals to get around this (and the inability to rotate card visuals as well.) This is ridiculous.

I can't understand why something so basic is not included.

RE: Rotate text box

Couldn't agree more. The Y axis labels only get so large and don't include any formatting other than color.
