How to show more legend text in pie or donut?

In bar chart we can use Maximum size under Y axis to show more text, but similar feature is not available in donut or pie chart, and long legends are truncated even there is lot of space available.

Hi @j_w ,

 

You need to click the arrow button to scroll down to view more legend items. The feature that specify the maximum number of displayed text is not available in pie/donut chart, you could submit ideas here.

OMG stop saying submit an idea! Its been years! There are so many answers of "submit an idea so that we can never take care of the most basic things that competitors will do with a click of button!"

Hi @v-yulgu-msft , my question is about the long legend text ended with three dots (horizontal), but not the hidden legends at the bottom which need to click the arrow to scroll down (vertical).

 

Sorry if my question was not clear to you.

Hi @j_w ,

 

Unfortunately, there is no such a property setting to enable long text shown in legent. As a workaround, you may enlarge the width of pie/donut chart.
