I created an Excel workbook with an XML feed from A.W.rd.A.Day: http://wordsmith.org/awad/rss1.xml. I created a table in PV; text in the description of the word is cut off. I upload to PBI and create a tile. Text in the tile is also cut off. Not cool!

In the May release of Power BI Desktop, we launched the preview of the new table visual. Both the new table and new matrix visuals have support for word wrap in cells. To learn more about the new table visual, check out this blog post: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-may-feature-summary/

This is needed. I have several mgmt level dashboards that need to see details in text field with text wrap.

I said to my colleagues, there is no word wrap in Power Bi, they laughed until I told them is that it was not a joke.

Is there an update on when text wrap could be included in table columns and headers?
Text wrap would really help to expand uses of Power BI!

This surely can't be that difficult to implement. Please!

Absolutely essential ! Also please add the ability to rename table column headers without having to rename them in the dataset itself.

This needs to happen. It's been under review since 11/2014 - implement it please. I have legends and titles that need to be word wrapped.

Wrap it's particularly important for Column Headers, with also functionality to align to the middle!
