go to presentation , legend, settings and there you can wrap the text.

or you can click on the chart then press ctrl + shift and a red box will appear on the legend and then you can change the position of the legend in the chart or minimize the red box the way you want it.

Hi,

You can go to the Properties->Presentation tab and under legend click the Settings button and select Wrap text and the number of lines required.

Hi, in presentation tab there is a button to config legend, that button opens a dialog where you can set the number of lines for each legend item

Button is enabled when there is a legend. Can you confirm if you are asking for wrapping legend? or you talking about text in axis?

you need to have more than one dimension in order to enable the legends, however there is turnaround if you have only one dimension in chart; add a calculated dimension and put ='' and remove the label for this dimension, now the legend has been enabled automatically.
