If you have long names on a bar chart Y-Axis they get truncated. This is a problem if you have ones that start with something similar. Could we have a word wrap option on the format menu that takes advantage of the vertical space so the whole label can be shown.

On April 1st 2024 the update from Administrator was that "We are working on this". I hope it is not April Fools!


Because we REALLY need this basic, basic feature. I cannot believe it is not been developed yet, but I guess that's better late than never.


Any idea when word wrap will be shipped?

Dear microsoft team,it's disappointing that such basic feature is still not available in powerbi.its literally embarassing to tell client that we can't achieve text wrap on y-axis labels of bar chart.

Please improve the basics features first

what about alignment in the Y-Axis, currently the text is aligned to the right, we need the option align to the text to the left

This seems to have been merged with legend wrapping. But it's not the labels that need wrapping on the legends - the entire legend list needs wrapping so you don't have to click and arrow to see it.

Up to 2030 votes now. When can we expect to see this feature released? Please prioritize this - clients are asking us to fix this on their deliverables and there's no answer we can provide except "it's a limitation of PowerBI."

Any ideas when this will be picked up? The text is so difficult to read - it just has a "...." to complete the text and putting a text box or something similar does not work on a interactive chart with filters on it.

This is such a basic concept, surprised to see it's not available.
