HI All,

How to wrap text in y axis Stacked bar chart.  PFB Screen shot.

Still not in 2024!

It's a simple feature ubiquitously applied across all previous Microsoft platforms, but Power BI is special, apparently. I can't tell if this is because managment is above understanding data or just gets confused when we use too many words. Alternatively, it could be a strategic move by the analysts to keep management in the dark. (This is a joke, we would never do that.)

Adjusting the max area width can help with this, thought.

Hi, is it feasible now? Thanks

That's a negative, georgesaker.

I am outraged that it is still not possible to wrap the text in a bar chart. How is this not possible in 2024? 

Come on!

This will not help you everytime. If you are ok with the scroll bar, you can increase the "Minimum Category Height" in Layout section in the Y axis just under the Title menu. 
I am still searching for the text wrapping option though.

This solved my problem, make it 50% from 25%.  Hope this will work.

Wow! Yeah, that worked like a dream! I don't remember seeing feature before, but it's entirely possible I overlooked it. Was the "Max area width" option added in one of the recent updates?

Hi

If the automation failed, switch to manual mode.

Create a text box and type in the text in question and overlay text box to the problem area.

I don't believe it is possible at this time. You can vote for it here:

Sadly, no.
