I know how to do this in Excel 2010 but I can't seem to find options for this in Excel 2013.

I would like to rotate my x axis labels. In Excel 2010 there is an option where you can set the angle of an x axis label. But when I choose Format Axis in 2013 I cannot see an option for alignment.

Can anybody please tell me how I can rotate my x axis labels in 2013. Presently they are all horizontal but I would like to display them either vertically or diagonally.

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
Sorry, I found it. Label alignment option maybe found under Size & Properties (the third icon on the top row of Format Axis options).
