Legend Doesn't Fit

Capture.PNG

When I add a legend in on my graph, it does not fit all items like excel does. The text size is already the smallest it can go. I have the same problem with every position. When will this issue be fixed?

Why can't this be fixed ie. enable the legend to wrap so it fits within the visual

@Anonymous,

 

It's not really an error so much as a limitation of space - there's no way to fit that much data in a legible format on a visual of that size.

 

What's the solution you're expecting? Word wrap for the legend? Smaller text?

A word wrap like Excel would probably be ideal.

Yes, I have the same problem. Moving the legend to the right/left does not look good. Ideally, it would allow you to wrap text. Also, would be nice if you could separate legends on dual axis visuals.

Hi @Anonymous

 

Did you try to change position to left or right ?
