Zooming on axes values

Hi all ,
I want to zoom on the left side secondary Y axis . Can we do anything other than increasing text size ? I have tried everything but cannot use something like "Word wrap" where each value will be displayed fully .

Hi @Agent47 ,
Thanks for samratpbi relpy.
In pwoer bi you can do this by increasing the minimum height of the category. Specifically Format -> Y-axis ->Layout

Although this will increase the height of your category but at the same time it will increase the length of the visualization, and scrollbars will appear.
Without increasing the length of the visualization, you can have a full display of labels by concatenating lables
Format -> Y-axis -> Concatenate lables

Hi, In the Y Axis formatting, you can increase the Max Area width. That will give you some additional space. 

If this helps to resolve your problem, then please mark it as solution provided, thanks!

No , it will give additional space only when one value in axis .
