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
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.
RE: Add word wrap to bar chart Y-Axis Labels
The developer is very likely to want/need full control over how text is displayed in visualisation in order to develop useable well layed out report designs.
Word wrap is one such control parameter and yet it is not currently or consistently available as a format parameter in all visualisations in each aspect where text is expected to be displayed.
Rather than have the customer identify the same deficiency for each and every visualisation, please could MS tackle these inconsistencies as a part of wider review of all object designs.
RE: Add word wrap to bar chart Y-Axis Labels
Currently we don't have an option to wrap the legend text, adding this feature would allow us to utilize the available space to the fullest. Also it would be more beneficial if we could scale the pie chart and legend within the space for visual. Do Vote if you find this useful.
RE: Add word wrap to bar chart Y-Axis Labels
Currently, there is no way to wrap the text in a bar chart, so when doing analysis on clinical/diagnostic categories, the text is shortened and you're limited on size. Having the ability to wrap text on the x or Y axis, will allow user to see the full text!
