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.

RE: Add word wrap to bar chart Y-Axis Labels

this would be so helpful. I have to make my visuals so huge or font so small to view it all, which seems silly because there is so much empty space.

Please, please, please. this would help so much with individuals with long names or demographic categories with complexity that needs to be clearly identified.

This can't be that difficult to implement, right? This is a much needed feature for organizing visuals.

It will be helpful, if we can have fx button to adjust the width or height of visual based on some conditional values

I can't believe this is not an option given x axis automatically wraps for other visualisations.
