Title: Crosstab - Rotate Column Headers for PDF/Excel/HTML output
Post by: adam_mc on 26 Sep 2014 11:16:22 AM
We have the following requirement from our business users:

Need to rotate the column headers of a Crosstab (say 45 degrees) and have them written in effect "Bottom to Top/Left to Right".
Formatting should remain in place for output to PDF, Excel, and HTML.

We can get to print vertically, but we are only seeing in effect "Top to Bottom" options.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Adam.

I do not think there is a built-in way to do what you want.

For HTML, there is a CSS3 transform property you could use. You would need to embed this into the report. I do not think that will have much if any translation when directing the output to Excel, and probably not PDF either since Cognos will not really know your CSS3 styles are even present, or how to translate them for you.
