Here’s how to apply it to cells in your spreadsheet:
Step 1
Select the cell or cells you want to format with vertical text
Step 2
Open the format menu, then hover over the Text Rotation submenu, then choose the Stack Vertically option

Step 3
Your text will be formatted with the characters stacked vertically from top to bottom

Step 2
Open the format menu, then hover over the Text Rotation submenu, then choose the None option at the top
