Conditional text orientation

I am wondering if its possible to change the text orientation when a cells that are grouped are minimized/maximized.
Basically I have merged several vertical cells and have the text orientation for those cells as "90" degrees. Now these rows are grouped, and if I minimize the grouping, the text no longer works nicely.
Below, find an image of the problem. I would like the DV1 orientation become "normal 0 degrees" in this case - is this possible ?

If I understand you, the cell formatting, alignment is 90 degrees and in the case of the D DV1 it looks like Wrap Text is on.

I don't think you can have the formatting changed automatically back to normal based solely on minimizing or maximizing the cells.

you will have to actually change the cells formatting

Hi Drrellik,

Thanks for your reply. Indeed the text wrapping is on - if it would not be, the text on the top cell would just become "D".
My question was indeed if there was for example some VBS magic one could do about the text alignment depending if a cell has space to render the text or not..

Perhaps with VBA the text alignment could be "0"ed when the cell height / width changed below a certain point to try and keep the text readable but that is above my abilities at this point.

Simply

Cell format
Text at the head

And adapt the height of the cell without vba

ISY, I don't really understand your suggestion, what does "Text at the head" mean ? Are you saying just make the the cell height bigger ?
