It's super annoying that this feature is not available. Especially since you can open the doc in the desktop app to edit, where you can change text direction, but then you can't view that version in the excel online.

Please add this function, or at least allow this to be displayed if created in the offline version.

It is a pity that the alignment option is not available in Excel web. I thought "web" was all about aligning and presenting text!

Yes, Microsoft! Please! I vote for you to stop providing sub-standard software under the guise of improving your products! I vote for you to stop pretending that text rotation is just too hard! You can do it!

Payer 99€/an pour ne pas avoir accès à toutes les fonctionnalités de base c'est inadmissible.

Please add this feature. As excel for web becomes a primary way of fast collaboration, we will need more and more of these front-end features to become available.

This functionality need in Excel online was born 5 years ago at minimum. Today, 2021, we continue at the same point.

Dont be sad Thomas... You have clearly chosen the right path. One can only sit and ponder as to why Microsoft has made these decisions. Do they just not care, was it just an oversite, is it a really bad joke??? Well...no one is laughing Microsoft. Except for the people who find Google Sheets after realizing that Excel for the web does not have rotating text. Ha ha, good one Microsoft, good one.

I am with you - I made a comment years ago and have enjoyed the comments ever since! It is obvious that they do not care about staying relevant! More and more of their market is getting eaten up! I use google drive for everything I can now and Teams as little as my company will let me get away with!
Sad...

For the previous commenter... Changing the formatting on the desktop app doesn't mean you will see the text rotated if you open it up again in the the online version. I almost always prefer to work in the desktop app and when I or others in my office open a file in the online version, the text will not show as rotated. The spreadsheets I use often have a lot of demographic data that is a one or two character long entry (for example, gender or grade level). I habitually rotate those headers to keep those columns narrow but they will always be horizontal when opened in the online version. It's a pain. After so many years I've learned to live with it.. mostly. I find it amusing to get the email updates from people commenting on this thread after literally years of no response from developers.

This is completely not understandably. Just stumbled over it as I tried to add new data rows to a chart. the horizontal ruler show the date (month) in text turned by 45 degrees.
So excel365 can handle this kind of text but cannot generate update. I'd haave to export the file, change it in a desktop spreadsheet and reimport. That cannot be true!
