This only suitable for fixed text, for those varable just like =A1,..etc thats no help.
Hello DD,
You’re right. The method in the article works well for fixed text but doesn’t apply to dynamic text like formulas (=A1, etc.). In Excel, there isn’t a built-in feature to rotate text 180 degrees for cell references or formulas.
you can use a shape or text box, link the shape’s text to the formula (e.g., =A1), and then rotate the shape. While this doesn’t work directly inside a cell, it provides a solution for visualizing rotated dynamic text. It may not be ideal for every case but can help when dealing with variable data.
