Excel Help?!

[TtheAmazing]

Hello all,
i'm making a giant excel file for all my stage managerely needs: ok not all, but a bunch: Rehearsal, Production, and Performance Reports, and Attendence Sheets, and Contact Sheets...etc
For my attendence sheets,
i want the cast list down the first column, (one per row)
and then on the top, 7 columns (1 for each day of the week)
i want to slant this top row. I know how to slant text, but can i slant the CELL itself?
i have a visual example for all who are confused.
Please, if anyone knows this, provide any help on here, and i will love you forever.

It's simple.
Highlight the cells you want to slant.
Go to Format, then Cells, then Alignment.
Choose the orientation of your text (degrees).
Go to town.

That's COOL!!!!!  I never knew you could do that!!

[TtheAmazing]

no, if you change the alignment, it JUST changes the TEXT, and not the physical ANGLE of the cell itself.
i've been told this isn't possible,
but DOES ANYONE have a cool way of doing this?

Just use the draw function and draw lines at the angles you want.

Just use the draw function and draw lines at the angles you want.

And then match the text alignment to the same angle that you draw the lines

Actually, if the cells text is slanted, make the columns sized to fit (with Format>Columns>To Fit), the cell border feature will make the lines angled too. It is a tad messy at the edges, but otherwise fine.

I have attached a sample to prove my point, if you want to see it in action.

Oh cool. Thanks Mac. Didn't know you could do that!
