    I created an Excel workbook with an XML feed from A.W.rd.A.Day: http://wordsmith.org/awad/rss1.xml. I created a table in PV; text in the description of the word is cut off. I upload to PBI and create a tile. Text in the tile is also cut off. Not cool!

    In the May release of Power BI Desktop, we launched the preview of the new table visual. Both the new table and new matrix visuals have support for word wrap in cells. To learn more about the new table visual, check out this blog post: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-may-feature-summary/

    I have 30 Power BI Pro accounts now for testing and could easily move to 200 or more if the text-wrap feature was available. I'm not able to roll out beyond financial analysts until the readability of text is improved.

    All about usability, and that impacts user experience specifically.

    Will, Text Wrap is Crucial. A capability to configure for or set text to wrap automatically for static, table driven/dynamic data, table columns headers and matrices. This is impacting Fortune 500 clients. When is the date for this to be released. This can be a deal breaker - so hoping this is a calendar year Q1 2016 add - so ASAP!

    Not having a Text Wrap is a deal breaker. Is it coming or not?

    I still am baffled that text-wrapping is not supported in this awesome tool. Please PLEASE incorporate the feature!
