    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.

    '@Microsoft - I'm sure you're working on this, when will this feature be live?

    Yes - very important - unable to use treemaps without this.

    Have a word wrap on the y-axis is very very important. It makes the chart readable. It makes it look more professional as well.

    It may come across a bit mean, but I don't really mean to sound .. well... mean :)

    All of my friends who work with Tableau really make fun of my inability to wrap chart category labels or have more flexibility with chart legends placement. I do believe it is hugely important because the visuals is what the exectives see, and those are the guys who approve the decisions to buy PowerBI or Tableau. :)
