Vertical Headers in Table using CSS
New to Qlik Sense!
I have a table with very long headers and I cant figure out how to rotate the Label headers. Community says it is not possible in Qlik Sense to do it natively but you can use CSS. I have previously used CSS for Sheet properties but not for a table.
The below thread gave some ideas but when I tried the given code in a multi kpi object it didnt work.
Any ideas please?
Code given from thread: https://community.qlik.com/t5/New-to-Qlik-Sense/Change-Table-Label-Text-Orientation/m-p/1846741
.qv-st-header-cell{
writing-mode: vertical-rl !important;
text-orientation: mixed !important;
}

Yes other CSS Styles work and the one you have provided also works! I have one which changes the sheet background color as well.
.qv-panel-sheet {
background:linear-gradient(209deg, rgba(131,135,130,1) 100%, rgba(222,237,218,0.9948354341736695) 100%, rgba(15,15,15,1) 100%);
}
Not sure why this one does not though.

Hi, your CSS code actually works. Not forget, that in Multi KPI you must add any 'dummy' measure first (and hide label and hide value). Just then css style start working.
Additionally, use 'writing-mode: sideways-lr' maybe, so your text will look at 'right' direction, not left.

What browser are you using? Internet Explorer?

Actually I am using desktop version. I think it might be tied to the version of app that I am using. Its May 2021 vs. the latest made available. Maybe?

Not sure does qlik version can impact this. Try simpler css, does it work for you? if not, nothing else I can suggest then.
.qv-st-header-cell{
background-color: #00ff00;
}
