Hi @Anonymous ,

You can create  a duplicate column where you just use the 8 characters and use that duplicate column in your visualization and the leave the original one as it is.

You can mark it as solution if this helps you.

If you create an additional column you can use that for your Graph only and still retain the full customer name for other uses.

@Anonymous  you can do one thing have two columns one with full name which you can use for table and another for the chart

@Anonymous  you can either do the changes in source or in power bi by limiting the characters upto 8
companyname=left(companyname,8)
