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

Submitted by on ‎11-11-2014 07:57 PM
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!

Yes please. I use power bi for surveys which include a couple of free text comments (like WHY did you give this score). Right now I have to export all those comments to Word and provide them separately from all my other analytics.

This is great. A word wrap on Card would be awesome. Not yet see it :), but looking forward to it !

This is very much needed feature, without this feature it is no use of having Power BI reports. Can we have an ETA for this feature to be implement for Tables?

Please, it is essential that Power BI enables wrapping text in a table/matrix, as we have "free text" fields and the scroll turns too long and unworkable.

Our reports don't look great with text truncated because of field sizing, in order to get all relevant fields into this report. Word wrapping would be a blessing for this problem!

Why, after 4 years on the ideas list and with over a thousand votes has this not yet been added? The values in the grid need to wrap so you can display any commentary in datasets! Come on now, get this sorted please

Slicers reset the text wrap. This is the case in desktop, haven't tried on web. Also, rather than wrapping each column individually in the Matrix Preview visual (which is a great new visual!), can it be made to wrap all columns with the same header (so the same values columns) to be the same width? At the moment I have to do each one individually, then the slicers reset them anyway.

Will this idea's implementation also include word wrap in bar charts, line charts, etc.? I am very glad this functionality is becoming available for tables, matrices, and cards, but I also really need it for bar charts and other visuals. Categorical labels frequently get cut off in these charts. There is often not a good way for me to shorten these labels in my context, and drilling further into a hierarchy compounds the problem.
