Expand chart labels for long text values

Hi.. I have various charts in PowerBI dashboards with variety of text labels on X axis. Some of these labels are long texts and they are only displayed partially which is very inconvenient to the users. I dont see any default options to expand the labels and resizing the charts is not an option because of multiple visuals arranged in a page. Attached the photo as well, can anyone please share if there are any solutions.

Thanks,chart labels.PNG

Thank you, this worked but not fully.. My labels are little bit longer and it still needs a bit more extension. Are there any other ways to adjust the axis label?

Hi, @gsksarepta 

I'm afraid there is no other efficient way, you may have to consider creating a new column to simplify the content of this column.

Have you tried from visualisations pane to increase the 'Max Area Height'
