This quick tutorial describes how to rotate a cell in Excel using Python by providing the environment configuration details and a runnable sample code to perform the task. This task to set text orientation in Excel using Python follows a simple logic where the style of the target cells is obtained and the rotation angle property is set as per the requirement. In the end, the output Excel file can be saved in different formats like XLSX, XLS, ODS, etc.

Steps to Rotate a Cell in Excel using Python

1. Configure the environment to work with Aspose.Cells for Python via Java
2. Create an empty spreadsheet using a Workbook class object
3. Get access to the target worksheet
4. Get access to the target cell in the worksheet and set some data in it
5. Get the Style of the cell and set the rotation angle in it
6. Set the style back to the cell
7. Save the updated workbook

These steps guide how to tilt cells in Excel using Python with the help of simple steps. You may create or load an Excel file, get access to the target worksheet and the desired cell within the selected worksheet. The style parameter of the cell contains the rotation angle property that needs to be set and then setting this style back to the cell is required. As the style includes a lot of other properties, you can set those as well if required.
