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.

RE: Add word wrap to bar chart Y-Axis Labels

WARNING! By adding Details to a Tree Map (a grouping of rectangles within the first rectangles, really the point of a tree map) Power BI may automatically remove some of the smallest groups without telling you! It appears this is done since the labels on the Details grouping are therefore hard to read...but this is not a helpful solution. Yes, they just disappear. Please change this behavior, as often the point of a tree map is to show all the groups, so disappearing some of them is a no-go.

Please add this feature to tree map and all other relevant maps.
I have added product category and total spend to tree map but not able to visualize it comfortably. I need to increase the size so that while I am presenting this to my manager he can easily view the spend and category.

You are doing awesome.

Thank you.

Definitely needed! My Leadership loves the visualization but needs a magnifying glass to see the values.

It's currently very difficult to read certain treemap details due to the tiny font size. Formatting options would be great! I would use treemap more often.

this seems like an obvious addition, surprised it's not already been implemented

...just so that you can increase the size of the visualisation and the text not get lost because it's so small.
