Hello,

I'm not sure that's what you want, but you can check how to use a cross tab.

Hi kaisor,

Can you explain more of what you're looking for?

thanx for the reply.
i just want to layout my text vertically, instead horizontally on the table header.

in html it is something like "writing-mode: tb-rl"

is that possible in birt?

This requirement is very interesting for me too.
I need this feature for tables with many columns with only small numbers or single characters as values and normal text as header.
Then it would be very useful to rotate the header label to save space on the report page.

I have imported the plugin into my birt-designer.
but it does not work. I can not see the "Rotated Text" item in my designer.
