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 Text function in hierarchy tree view.

The new Hierarchy Tree Visual Chart is very useful, but the display text in the box is very limited. It will be a good visual if the wrap text function is available for the text in the box.

Text wrap in chart legends and detail labels for all chart types

Currently this functionality is partially available but would be exceedingly useful for many of us if it were to also be added to the chart legends and detail labels for all chart types (including bar, column and pie charts)
