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
There is no option to format the text in the category label. I would like some basic abilities for text manipulation on display like:
Word Wrap
Size of Text
Color of Text
Position (both vertical and horizontal)
If possible I would also love an option to have the text auto format based on the size of the box
RE: Add word wrap to bar chart Y-Axis Labels
Currently I work on a project to create Financial Statement Report or Dashboard using Power BI Desktop.
I create a measure to calculate Current Ratio. Since financial ratios (including Current Ratio) need explanation, i wrote a DAX expression with If statement to create measure that return dynamic long text (string). The the problem now is, i didn't found any appropriate visual for my dynamic long text. Card works, but it doesn't support wrap text properties for the values (the wrap property only works for category name).
RE: Add word wrap to bar chart Y-Axis Labels
Please add this formatting option. Space on the canvas is limited. Often there is no room to expand the chart to display all the legends fully. Yet there is so much white space in the chart object itself to fully show the legend - if the legend items could only be displayed over two lines.
RE: Add word wrap to bar chart Y-Axis Labels
Please add this. Currently find these bar charts unusable if even a single value is too long to fit the space.

Why on earth can't you implement this ?!?!?!!!
RE: Add word wrap to bar chart Y-Axis Labels
I had received many requests from various customers to have the word wrap feature on the Legend in the visualization. Example, some of the name for the product category could be long, and it will get cut-off. Though the user can hover over the mouse pointer, or enlarge the visualization to view the full text of the legend, it is not very usual friendly.Since Microsoft have implement the word wraps for the title in Card visualization etc., I think it should extend to all the other text element to allow user to toggle on and off for the word wrap feature.

Also need this. Thanks for raising
RE: Add word wrap to bar chart Y-Axis Labels
I am dumbfounded that this incredibly useful and basic functionality (word wrap!) has yet to be implemented and seems to have been languishing as a request since 2017.
