Wrap slicer values

Hello,

 

I'm using the default Power BI slicer and also I tried with 2 custom slicers from the PowerBI store but I can't wrap the values to show them in a second row with the complete value. Does anyone know a workaround for this? I've already tried making the slicer wider and decreasing the size of the letters but it's not consistent.

 

 

Thanks

    Thanks for your answers sreejad Irwan . It's sad that we can't have text wrap working for values in the Power BI slicer. What I did, and think is a good approach to keep all the functionalities (dropdown, multi-select, slicer), was to reduce the value size to the minimum, check the longest possible value I have, and adjust the width of the visualization to that size. I will have to do this each time a longer value arrives, but it's the only way I figured out to not lose design and functionality.

    hello julsr 

     

    is this wrap text?

    in slicer visual, text wrap only for Title.

    if you want to text warp the value, you might want to check button slicer.

    Hope this will help.

     

    Thank you.

    PowerBI doesnt support text wrap in slicers but here is a workaround, you can use table or matrix with formatting and make it look like a slicer and use it. or you can check for custom visuals like chiclet slicer.
