SSRS: Vertical Headings

This is one of the common requirement for most of the report developers. Many times we need to display table header vertically. When I came across this, I did a bit googling. But no where it is documented properly. Then I checked all the properies available for the Text box. Vertical text with reports can be done with one small property change. There will be a property called 'WritingMode'. By default the writing mode will be lr-tb. If we change that to tb-lr the text in that text box will be written vertically. Follow the steps to get vertical headers: Go to the Textbox in which you need Vertical Text Press F4 or Goto Properties Window Search for WritingMode Property and change the value to 'tb-lr' You can check your report preview for the changes. Happy reporting!!
