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.

RE: Add word wrap to bar chart Y-Axis Labels
Please add this feature. Without it the export feature is less useful and we are still using other tools for our deliverables, sometimes duplicating effort to create them (e.g., one PowerPoint and one Power BI).

Please for the love of god I need this on decomposition trees, it's so close to being the perfect tool, there is so much screen space to wrap an extra row or two.

RE: Add word wrap to bar chart Y-Axis Labels
Need the ability to have text wrap for the y-axis category of horizontal bar charts. My suggestion would be to use the height of each bar as what controls how lines of text are visible.
In the attached image, area A is an example of a default horizontal bar chart. In area B the minimum category width and inner padding changed but the amount of text in the top two bars didn’t change. In the new method for wrapping text, Area C had the same change as area B but the top two bars now show wrapped text but still doesn’t display all of the text for the second bar. Area D increased the category width and decreased the inner padding which then allows all of the text for the second bar to be visible.
