In Excel, you can rotate the text within a cell by adjusting the text alignment. Here are the steps to rotate text in a cell:

1) Select the cell or cells that you want to rotate the text for.
2) Right-click the selected cells and select "Format Cells" from the context menu.
3) In the Format Cells dialog box, select the "Alignment" tab.
4) In the Orientation section, you can use the up and down arrows to rotate the text within the selected cells.
5) Click OK to apply the changes and close the dialog box.


You can also rotate text by using the ribbon option:

1) Select the cell or cells that you want to rotate the text for.
2) Go to the "Home" tab on the ribbon.
3) In the "Alignment" group, click the "Orientation" button.
4) Select the angle of rotation that you want from the drop-down menu.
5) To return the text to the horizontal position, select "Horizontal" from the drop-down menu.
