Hi! Can I create a table template with vertical headers position? It needs to me for correct data extraction purpose, i. e. in data extraction process I need to filling a table from top to bottom, not from left to right.

 

Thanks for your help!

TABLESTYLE command only offers settings by row (what you don't want), not column (what you need)

But you can manually do what you want like this if you want to try it

Thanks for your answer!
But I can't understand how to use it. I create a table by data extraction wizard. Then I perform your recommendations but nothing changes. No difference locked or unlocked the table.

Show your work, share your DWG file here. See attached and below for what I recommended you test and try in my last post

In your file I create block 'Block' with attributes A1 and A2. Next I'm making two instances 'Block', filling attributes and doing its data extraction. In Data Extraction Wizard I select your table template 'SIDEWAYS'. As a result I get horizontal table cells arrangement anyway, but I need this:

Changes cells type on your advice from previous post doesn't help. This action changes color cells only, not cells content.

Then I suspect you found an ability that does not yet exist in AutoCAD's TABLES. Log it as a feature request with Autodesk through your support links for future versions, maybe it will get implemented in 2-3-5-10 years from today.
