When the title of a visual is too long relative to the visual size the title is cut off and replaced by 3 dots. This results in having to hover over the title or entering focus mode to see the full title.

I think the titles should have the option to wrap text, similar to the functionality that the card visual has.

I'm pleased to say we shipped this feature in the Feb 2019 update of Power BI Desktop! You'll see an option to enable word wrap in the formatting pane for visuals. Thanks!

RE: Ability to wrap text in visual titles

Please implement. I was trying to add a multi line title to a clustered column chart

RE: Ability to wrap text in visual titles

Enable the Titles on visuals (for example, the KPI and column charts) to wrap text.

This would be extremely useful especially in Treemap! Please implement.

RE: Ability to wrap text in visual titles

Can we get this implemented, if you make a text box above to have word wrap it then gets blocked by the charts header when clicked.

So many nuances to this program.

RE: Ability to wrap text in visual titles

Like everyone else in this thread, I believe it would be very beneficial to have titles have the ability to wrap. Legends also need the ability to wrap and ensure the entire message is pushed across on the dashie.

RE: Ability to wrap text in visual titles

I am very grateful that word rap was added to table headings but I believe we need in KPI, Card and Multi-card visuals as well.

I believe most of us have a similar idea of the size of a KPI or card, and it is often not big enough to fit a reasonable title.
Off course one can extend the width of the KPI, but that is neither good as a best practise visualisation nor for the available real estate on the page.

RE: Ability to wrap text in visual titles

This is a simple but sometimes very limiting gap in functionality. Please address it soon !

RE: Ability to wrap text in visual titles

I am finding this an issue as well. I would like an option that would allow the Card visual to word wrap the Category Label.

Also, I would like to adjust the "space" or padding on the Card visual, Sometimes when I have long text as a category label I want to shrink the Card to a smaller size. The padding is so high on the Card visual that the when the card is shortened the ellipsis appears and you loose the words from the category label.
