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.

Text in treemaps are often lost to .... It would be good to be able to wrap the text so the who field name is visible.

Wrapping of the legend

Have the ability to wrap the legend text so you don't have to scroll to see what you are looking at.

Word Wrap

Word wrap is really needed in the Treemap but also in Cards. The names of the categories should be able to wrap, like it is a possibility to turn on word wrap in other visuals.

Allow text wrapping for funnel categories

Allow text wrapping for funnel categories instead of abbreviating with a "..." when there's not enough horizontal room.

Text wrap for Legend

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.

Legend Format

On charts it would be helpful to have much more functionality over the legend format e.g. - ability to drag and move it around to where you want it - resize the legend box and ability to word wrap the legend titles (as can be done in excel) - format background colors of a legend box Interest...

Add ability to wrap text in ALL visuals' text labels

It seems you've added the title functionality to some visuals, but why not go crazy and enable text wrapping in ALL data label fields for report visuals?! At this point I could build a better data visual in PPT/Excel and that's based purely on my frustration with every "Category label" ending i...

Word wrap: Pie & Doughnut visuals

Please could you implement "Category" word wrapping for Pie and Doughnut visuals. Currently the only way to include as much text as possible is to make it so small it practically becomes illegible, and even then depending the size and placement of the visual and the content of the category you...

Word wrap legend on bar and column charts

Quite often the labels in legend fields stretch wider than the column chart can reasonably be. It would be helpful to be able to set the legend to word wrap so it goes to 2 or three shorter lines rather than truncating and hiding some classes off the right hand side of the bar or column chart
