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.

Wrap for all Labels in All Visuals

For ALL labels in ALL visuals, word wrapping needs to be the default, with an option to toggle off.

Wrap Text in Chart Visualizations

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!

Improvements to radar chart

Great chart but it would be even better if we had the option to change the size of the data points, wrap the axis label text, disable the lines linked to the axes name and most importantly, specify the min and max y axis values.

Word wrap for X axis labels in charts

it is always difficult to align the charts if we have more categories to display on charts with long names. It would be great if you can bring that in next update

Wrap Text In Tree Map Chart

There is not Wrap text option available in Tree Map chart and the space in chart goes unutilized. Wrap option can help visualization easy to read and understand.

Wrap up legend categories (positioned right/left) if the length is greater than 20 or 30

There is no provision in Power BI to wrap the categories of legend according to length or by one of these special characters (, / * ; - ). For example, I am creating a filled map where the length of the label is more than 50 in some cases - e.g. Oxford/AstraZeneca, Pfizer/BioNTech, Sinopharm/Beij...

Allow for Text Wrapping for Decomposition Trees

There seems to be a character limit for text fields for the Decomposition tree. Would LOVE to see this limit be expanded. Or at least have the ability to wrap the text.

Text wrap for y-axis category in horizontal bar charts

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 c...
