Is there a smart way to align horizontal-text "header" cells with other cells below whose text is oriented at an angle?



This is what I tried. Obviously this looks awful. The "Benefits" and "Caution" headers are not aligned at all with the "category" cells under them.

  • That will go out of alignment as soon as the height of the row with the tilted text changes. Not to mention that the cell colour won't align nicely regardless (admittedly that is a secondary concern).

  • I always prefer "Center across selection" to merging cells. Have you trie that @Jean-FrançoisCorbett? select all the cells above your headers and format them in the color you need and select "Center across selection" in the horizontal alignment dropdown

  • from what I know, there is no automated way to do it. If you really want his layout you will have to perform some manual adjustment for Benefits row. Alternatively you can just switch the two rows, not what you asked for but conveys the same information clearly

Excel doesn't appear to have an easy way to use cell and border formatting to do what you are looking for. Only thing I could find was to no use the angle so they line up.



An alternate to that would be to insert a text box sized and formatted as you desire to fit the top of the angled headers. You can add a text box from the Insert tab, Text group.



enter image description here



You can then resize and format the text box as you wish.
