Rotate Table Left
Learn how to rotate your tables 90 degrees counter-clockwise using the Text To Table Converter Add-On across Google Docs™, Google Slides™, and Google Sheets™.
The Rotate Table Left feature allows you to quickly rotate your selected table(s) 90 degrees counter-clockwise (anti-clockwise). This rearranges the orientation of your data, turning rows into columns in reverse order.
This tool works seamlessly across Google Docs™, Google Slides™, and Google Sheets™.
What is Rotating a Table Left?
Rotating a table left means turning it 90 degrees counter-clockwise. The content of the original top row becomes the content of the new rightmost column (reading top-to-bottom), the second row becomes the second column from the right, and so on. Effectively, the top-left cell moves to the bottom-left position.
