Word wrap not working even when on

Hi there,

 

I have the July 2021 version and I'm trying to build my matrix table. However, the word wrap function seems to be not working even when the settings are turned on.  I've turned on word wrap for rows, columns, and values. 

 

Any idea why this is?

Hey @Anonymous ,

 

the size of the visual doesn't trigger the wrap. You have to change the size of the columns.

Here an example for the word wrap for the headers:

Does that help?

 

If you need any help please let me know.

Hey @Anonymous ,

 

did you try to make the columns or rows smaller?

The word wrap will only show up when there is not enough space.

 

If you need any help please let me know.

Hey @selimovd,

 

Yup, I've reduced the width of the column. In the image, the last 'Total Unique..' is supposed to be Total Unique Opens.

 

Here's the full matrix:

Here's when I shrink the width of the matrix:

@selimovd This isn't working for me. The headers are wrapping, but, when I add a couple more columns, the wrapping stops working. If I remove those specific columns, the text wrapping works again. If I decrease the column size, the headers simply cut off, they don't wrap. The headers refuse to get any longer. This is only a problem in a matrix. When I switch the visual to a table, the wrapping works. Very frustrating.
