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 among other BASIC formatting options are critical. I'm trying to provide a POC to leverage PowerBI against an expensive competitor tool, but issues like this will kill it. It's one thing to create cool visualizations for the sake of cool visualization. It's another to have a tool that provides practical, functional customization the business needs.

Im importing data from SharePoint without a word wrap half the reporting processes are impossible to achieve... We need this fixing asap come on Microsoft you have been reviewing this problem for 6 months. Please provide an update, even an interim solution would be better than nothing at all.
