increase length of x-axis labels

On the following chart:

the x-axis labels have been truncated. 

I need to increase the length so that I can see the whole word. 

Any ideas on how to do this?

Hi  @AndrewPF , 

In the visual settings, go to the Y-axis and change Maximum size. It should help.

Does anyone know of a way to do this will current version of Power BI desktop? The screenshots above no longer apply.
