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.

I am in the process of replacing Tableau with Power BI, but because of non-availability of word wrap feature, I can't satisfy my users, hence the process is held up. Kindly provide this feature asap.

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

I'm not sure why this hasn't always been a feature. Seems like it should be standard.
