    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.

    This is very basic and should be out of the box functionality. Please add ASAP!

    Can't believe I am having to go back to the drawing board with my visualisation so i can show my labels correctly. It really is a basic with presenting information in a chart!

    Agree with other comments. This is a basic feature and highlights the lack of flexibility in chart design. It is also an issue with tree maps

    This seems like basic functionality. Still not available in Power BI 2019. Please add!

    Please add this functionality. Very limited for reporting when reporting on things with longer titles

    This makes perfect sense to use up the screen retail space, if there is room, instead of having 3 dots to indicate there is more text.
