I tried to follow the workaround earlier, but this basic functionality is still broken? See screenshot. I'm using the April update.

sykr0n  did you do the following order:

 

step 1:  select the stacked columns chart (do not select the fields before selecting the charts)

step 2:  select the entry for the "value" field

step 3:  select the multiple fields for the "Axis"

step 4:  go to formatting --> x axis --> switch concatenate label to off

    I just tried the workaround and it still doesn't work.  By the way, I'm using the Power BI Desktop client (April Update), not the service.  Maybe, it's working in the online service?

      Same here as well. I also tried to use it on a table... It has the ootion but enabling it does not wrap column headers.

        I kept trying and it looks like for "Concatenate Labels" off to work correctly and show the hierarchy of X-Axis fields, you have to also make sure the chart is NOT sorted by the Value field or by an X-Axis field that is different than the one you have drilled down to. Not sure if the the behavior seemed to be more clear/consistent/intuitive or it's just gotten more  complicated  with more features.
