    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/

    Tables and Matrix are coming along, but we need to wrap text.

    I'm with this one. I'd love to text wrap or even change the font size.

    The wrap text is really needed when creating the reports. Please give this feature high priority!!!!

    Ability to wrap text in a text box - currently the scroll bar option can be messy for long lines of text and not easily visible

    Please allow control over Text Wrap for longer Column Headings. A lot of the time the data field is small but the header is long and needs to be displayed on two lines. Please add Text Wrap options to Reports & Charts.
