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.

And/or allow the width of the labels to be expanded separately from just expanding the width of the whole visual.

I agree, please add the ability to Word Wrap Y-Axis Labels on Stacked Bar Charts. Otherwise the only way to read the labels is to hover the mouse pointer. I see that Stacked Column Charts automatically Word Wrap the X-Axis Labels. Why not do the same for Y-Axis Labels?

Option to concatenate Data labels to Category labels.

How is this still not available??? I can do it in Tableau, I should be able to do it in PowerBI.

Size of text in treemap is a must! Waiting for that one :-)

Font size in tree map needs to be flexible and user-defined. It is too small to look at

Yes, very much a needed feature.

Changing fonts and font sizes are standard requirements on any visualization
