Show all of my x-axis

Hello!  I am wondering if there is a way to show all of the words and letters in my x-axis.  I have some things that are longer than PowerBI likes, and so they look like "Chemistry with Hem...".  I would like it to show the entire grouping of words.  

 

attached is a photo of what I'm talking about.  I would like to get rid of the ...s

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Anonymous 

It depends the width between X-axis and Bottom border for the visual . The larger the width, the more words will be displayed . But this number of characters is not limitless, because the width is limited by the Power BI Desktop report page .

Or you can change the size for the text in X-axis , this will make you display a little more words, but if your text content is very long, it will still not display all .

Change the chart to have the labels on the vertical axis.

I don't think you can show any arbitrarily long text as a label without a cut-off.

 

When the labels are long, this is the right way to do it. The space for the horizontal labels is limited. If it were not, then people would abuse it and visuals would become disgusting monsters.
