[Tex/LaTex] How to rotate text in multirow table

boxesmultirowrotatingtables

I have a big table with a problem, when I want to rotate the text in a \multirow cell, the text is placed outside and is bigger than the dimensions of the cell, I took some advice from here, using\parbox, and then \rotatebox. But I don't get good results. 

 \documentclass{article}
 \usepackage{array,multirow,graphicx}
 \begin{document}
 \begin{table}[H]
 \centering
 \begin{tabular}{|c|l|r|r|r|r|}
 \hline
 & \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{Text} & \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{Text} & \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{Text} & \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{Text} & \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{text}\\
 \hline
 \rotatebox{90}{\parbox{2mm}{\multirow{3}{*}{rota}}} & text &&&&\\
 & text &&&&\\
 & text &&&&\\
 \hline
 \end{tabular}
 \end{table}
 \end{document}

Which results in:

rotate problem

Best Answer

Put \rotatebox inside like:

\parbox[t]{2mm}{\multirow{3}{*}{\rotatebox[origin=c]{90}{rota}}}

Code:

 \documentclass{article}
 \usepackage{array,multirow,graphicx}
 \usepackage{float}
 \begin{document}
 \begin{table}[H]
 \centering
 \begin{tabular}{|c|l|r|r|r|r|}
 \hline
 & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{Text} & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{Text} & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{Text} & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{Text} & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{text}\\
 \hline
 \parbox[t]{2mm}{\multirow{3}{*}{\rotatebox[origin=c]{90}{rota}}} & text &&&&\\
 & text &&&&\\
 & text &&&&\\
 \hline
 \end{tabular}
 \end{table}
 \end{document}

I have eliminated some spurious vertical lines in the title and introduced the origin for rotation. However, the idea of introducing a parbox did not get in to my head as this may not be needed for the present MWE. In case you have other uses in your actual code, you may use the alignment specifiers to parbox (Here [t]).
