Text wrap in tables, cards, etc.! -- in dashboards and reports.

I created an Excel workbook with an XML feed from A.W.rd.A.Day: http://wordsmith.org/awad/rss1.xml. I created a table in PV; text in the description of the word is cut off. I upload to PBI and create a tile. Text in the tile is also cut off. Not cool!

I agree with a lot of the comments below. MS is releasing a lot of new features and visuals in other areas, which is great, but not having some of this basic formatting makes the dashboards look amateur at best. IMHO they should shift development focus heavily onto formatting things like this, as I'm not able to use PBI as it is.

Please keep this issue on high priority, the inability to do text wrapping is holding up a managerial automation project.

By far this is the biggest barrier in sizing columns adequately in tables and matrices. Thank you for your speedy efforts to allow word wrap on table headers!

Any update... Not having these basic functions is really making this tool feel like it's a toy and not an enterprise solution.

I downloaded the latest update (Version: 2.42.4611.701 64-bit (January, 2017)) and rebooted my pc but still don't have the ability to wrap the header text. Auto Size columns is set to Off but the option to wrap columns does not appear under the Column Headers section.

This among other BASIC formatting options are critical. I'm trying to provide a POC to leverage PowerBI against an expensive competitor tool, but issues like this will kill it. It's one thing to create cool visualizations for the sake of cool visualization. It's another to have a tool that provides practical, functional customization the business needs.
