I am trying to use the ActiveChart.SetElement method to turn a secondary y-axis title to face inwards i.e. the title is on the right of the chart but I want its base to be on the left of the now vertical box (turning your head to the right to read it).

The options prompted with .SetElement are:

.SetElement (msoElementSecondaryValueAxisTitleRotated)
.SetElement (msoElementSecondaryValueAxisTitleHorizontal)
.SetElement (msoElementSecondaryValueAxisTitleNone)
.SetElement (msoElementSecondaryValueAxisTitleVertical)

None of which give me what I need.

The equivalent done manually is "Rotate All Text 90 (degrees)"

.SetElement (msoElementSecondaryValueAxisTitleRotated) is the equivalent of "Rotate All Text 270 (degrees)"

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
How about something like this instead:
Code:
    With ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary)
        .AxisTitle.Orientation = -4170
    End With
?

Same as Glenn's

Code:
    With ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary)
        .AxisTitle.Orientation = xlDownward
    End With
