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.

How is this still not available??? I can do it in Tableau, I should be able to do it in PowerBI.

Size of text in treemap is a must! Waiting for that one :-)

Font size in tree map needs to be flexible and user-defined. It is too small to look at

Yes, very much a needed feature.

Changing fonts and font sizes are standard requirements on any visualization

Would be great to adjust font sizes on tree maps category labels. Even better if you could add an option that auto-sizes the font relative to the size of the box within the tree map. And why not be able to choose different fonts as well?

Changing fonts and font sizes should be standard for any place where fonts are displayed on any visualization.

This would be a great idea, as you could create some nice designs if you have control over fonts size and word wrap at least.

This is a must for certain types of treemap, at minimum allowing for percentage covering of the box rather than font size. at the moment, these are useable as the data is just so tiny you cant see it. (On large screens, presentations etc...)
