    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/

    I read the new release features descriptions and tried the new matrix. but is it possible to truncate the column headers somehow??

    word wrap in values is great. would it be too greedy to ask for the wrap to honor hard returns from the data source? or a way to achieve it

    Fantastic - and just in time for a presentation to my client! The table works really smoothly. Awesome.

    Hi, word wrap for table is in complete, when that text is too big , it is truncating the text. Will post a screen shot shortly.
