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.

Such a basic feature and it's still not available? :(

The treemap is awesome but there isn't a option to change the font size from its info squares.. I'd like to set the text on the center from each square and choose a size.

Power BI: Categories inside TreeMap should be able to be wrapped to show full content.

Need to increase the text size and color of the Details, Value and group in the Tree map. To be precise major and minor label of the tree maps text size.

The treemap in Power BI is an axcellent tool to display the greatest data in my reports, usually I use this visualization to show a Top N.

But many times we use the hraphs and dashboard for PPT's and is not very useful due to the text is not full displayed until the pointer is placed in the square, so a screenshot is not very useful for a PPT summary or other tools.

It would be excellent if treemap could have an option to wrap text just like in the cells of excel.

Crazy this has been an ask for over 4 years and not made its way into dev. Major headache when trying to present data to have no wrapping functionality for axis labels

Please add this basic functionality. It's very frustrating in case there are long labels.

This is the number one ask I get about the dashboards I create for users: "Can we wrap y-axis label". It's always a fun conversation to explain someone that this feature present in older reporting tools isn't present.
