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.

Would be great to adjust font sizes on tree maps category labels. Even better if you could add an option that auto-sizes the font relative to the size of the box within the tree map. And why not be able to choose different fonts as well?

Changing fonts and font sizes should be standard for any place where fonts are displayed on any visualization.

This would be a great idea, as you could create some nice designs if you have control over fonts size and word wrap at least.

This is a must for certain types of treemap, at minimum allowing for percentage covering of the box rather than font size. at the moment, these are useable as the data is just so tiny you cant see it. (On large screens, presentations etc...)

WARNING! By adding Details to a Tree Map (a grouping of rectangles within the first rectangles, really the point of a tree map) Power BI may automatically remove some of the smallest groups without telling you! It appears this is done since the labels on the Details grouping are therefore hard to read...but this is not a helpful solution. Yes, they just disappear. Please change this behavior, as often the point of a tree map is to show all the groups, so disappearing some of them is a no-go.

Please add this feature to tree map and all other relevant maps.
I have added product category and total spend to tree map but not able to visualize it comfortably. I need to increase the size so that while I am presenting this to my manager he can easily view the spend and category.

You are doing awesome.

Thank you.

Definitely needed! My Leadership loves the visualization but needs a magnifying glass to see the values.

It's currently very difficult to read certain treemap details due to the tiny font size. Formatting options would be great! I would use treemap more often.
