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.

Word wrap control exists on other visualizations -- please add for stacked bar chart

Such a small thing but we will probably move to tableau because of it.

The absence of this feature did not allow us to make a transition from Excel chart to PowerBI ones. We had to combine charts from Excel and PowerBI in one report.

This would be extremely useful, as would the option to left, centre and right align the labels, particularly on Bar charts.
