Vertical Text in Reporting Services (Bottom-Up)

Question

I would like to display my text in a text box in Reporting Services vertically bottom-up. I already can have it top-down by going to the WritingMode property of the text box and switching to 'tb-rl' but there is no option for bottom-up.

I have done some research and would really like to avoid creating an image and putting that into the text box...

Any thoughts?! Thanks!

Answer 1

reverse is tb-lr

Answer 2

I am trying to do the same thing with vertical text bottom-up. Sadly 'tb-lr' isn't accepted as a valid value. I know you said you didn't want to create an image, but that appears to be the only solution. I ended up using the following to get the desired result.

Bottom-up Vertical Text

Answer 3

If you're using 2008 R2, you can choose Rotate270 under "WritingMode"
