Vertical Column Headers in a Table Dashboard Panel

is it possible to make table column headers vertical rather than horizontal? For example, I want the column header "Totals" to be

T
o
t
a
l
s
100
50
210

I have long fields names for the column header, but only 1-5 digits under the heading, so I want to rotate the column headers -90 degrees.

You can do this... kind of, but it's not exactly pretty:

... | transpose | rename column as "Fields" | rename "row 1" as "Data"

This is likely going to be the best you can get out of it, keep in mind that transpose defaults to only transposing the first 5 rows, so add an integer next to it if you require more.
