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 a must as I am forced to create additional dummy labels in the data model to circumvent

This says planned but I can't see it in the planned tab of the release planner. Please expedite this, much needed.

I do a lot of survey work and this would be a tremendous help for us.

This basic idea was mentioned nearly 4 years ago and still nothing yet?

On April 1st 2024 the update from Administrator was that "We are working on this". I hope it is not April Fools!Because we REALLY need this basic, basic feature. I cannot believe it is not been developed yet, but I guess that's better late than never. Any idea when word wrap will be shipped?

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

Dear microsoft team,it's disappointing that such basic feature is still not available in powerbi.its literally embarassing to tell client that we can't achieve text wrap on y-axis labels of bar chart.Please improve the basics features first
