I have seen Column Headings that were diagonal and wondered how this is done.
Thank you.
 
Select the cell, goto Format>Cells>Alignment and pick the Orientation, then
put a border around the cell.
 
You cannot physically slant cells, but you can format them to look slanted.

First, place a border around the cell and color it a nice color.

Then Format>Cell>Alignment.

Use the protractor to orient the text at 30 or 40 degrees.

Experiment with row height and column width.until you get the effect you want.
