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/

In addition to wordwrap, standard font formatting capabilities would also be helpful.

No way to wrap text? Created a cool treemap of queries by duration and clicking shows the details in a table, but cant read the entire query without scrolling??? Need This

Is anyone from MSFT monitoring this request and the posts? No replies or comments from MSFT is shocking.

Please add word wrap! Matrices and table columns end up requiring you to scroll to see all measure!

Currently suffuring in adoption of our created Dashboard because PBI do not handle large text (no wrap), nor html balise. Please do something. I found today a Custom Visual that would save us on some Single text field, but not applicable to mutilple columns.

This is a huge limitation preventing our company from being able to fully utilize in a meaningful way

How can such a basic necessary function be left out without any real feedback or direction in over a year and a half?
