Add word wrap to bar chart Y-Axis Labels

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.

3 years later and this still isn't being worked on. This is a basic feature that when missing, really makes the final result feel unpolished. Please add this.

I think this is a very essential feature. And there are no workarounds. Please consider adding Word Wrap.

Totally agree with @Michal.

Please reconsider ignoring this improvement. The number of votes is not the only measure of the need for an improvement. This has been requested since early 2017 and it really is a fundamental feature for a business intelligence app to be able to display usable labels for the data being visualised.

Would make life a lot easier if word wrap was a standard, like other MS applications.

We're trying to visualize some survey data, and I can't put the question text in the Y-Axis because the text is being truncated. I really need it to wrap and adjust spacing accordingly. Please add this feature.

Please add! This is a basic function in all Microsoft products.
