Is it possible to make text vertical in an excel cell?

Hey,

I’ve found it easiest to have a macro that I run in Excel after I’ve exported the data…

The VBA code is simple and runs extremely quickly… Particularly if you have lots of formatting across lots of sheets…

Hope that helps,

Mark

This is the cell property to apply using the Microsoft Interop Excel library:

> **[CellFormat.Orientation Property (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.office.interop.excel.cellformat.orientation?view=excel-pia)**

> The text orientation. Can be an integer value from –90 to 90 degrees.

Having delved into it a bit myself, it’s a bit on the complex side and needs a good knowledge of Python and working with an API docs that isn’t of the Revit variety. Bumblebee is a bit difficult to repackage as it depends on a Python library that ships with the package, so if you use its code without Bumblebee available it will generally fail to run.
