Looker Studio, Google's data visualization and business intelligence tool, has rolled out a new feature enhancing the readability of pivot table charts. This update allows users to wrap text in column headers, providing a cleaner and more organized view of data.
Key Features of the Update:
Text Wrapping Option: Users can now enable text wrapping for column headers in pivot table charts.
Location of Setting: The new "Wrap text" option is available in the "Style" tab of the pivot table configuration.
Scope of Wrapping: When enabled, this feature wraps text for field names and labels of both Metrics and Row dimensions.
Default Setting: The text wrapping option is disabled by default, allowing users to choose when to implement this feature.
