    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 would be especially helpful for titles.

    Must admit, that I'm surprised this isn't here. A vote to add please.

    Yes, Word Wrap option doesn't work on a card title...

    This is VERY important -- at least for table headers!

    I think the solution is very simple by simple using the ccs 'word-wrap' property https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/word-wrap

    Will - as you can see the votes have jumped from 220 to 666 - are you going to give us any reply or ETA on what you going to do to give this table stakes functionality? MSFT silence here is deafening!!!

    This is really standard! How can I possibly suggest Power BI over Tableau when it can easily handle this?
