Although Jeroen is correct in his statement in that it is not possible without the use of Rotate 270, if all you want to do is display a static word (like "Category"?) you can do the below method. Unfortunately, for those that want to display an <<Expr>> in this format, this method obviously would not work.

For those of us that do not have this feature, but still want to implement it, what I did was:

  1. Create the text/textbox I wanted to use in Microsoft word and rotate it to the orientation I wanted to use in my report

  2. Take a screenshot, a snip using the Snipping tool, whatever you want to get an image of the text/textbox

  3. Using the toolbox, insert the snip into your report

This visually looks like it did the trick.

@Liquid Core to your comment, I am not sure how you found these options.

Version 2008 and earlier don't have this feature, see this Microsoft Connect issue.

For SSRS 2008-R2 you should be able to do this, from the MSDN tutorial:

  1. Create a new report or open an existing report.
  2. If the Properties pane is not open, click the View tab and select the Properties check box.
  3. Click the text box for which you want to change text orientation.
  4. Locate the WritingMode property in the Properties pane and in the drop-down list select the text orientation to apply to the text box.
    Note: When the properties in the Properties pane are organized into categories, WritingMode is in the Localization category.
  5. In the list box, select Horizontal, Vertical, or Rotate270.

The Rotate270 value is the option you're looking for.
