Hi @wasekar123 ,

Unfortunately, Power BI doesn’t currently support multi-row legends out of the box. The legend is always rendered in a single line, and long names get truncated or shortened.

Here are a few workarounds you can try:

1. Change the legend position to the right or bottom – this gives more space for longer names.
2. Turn off the legend and use data labels with category names directly on the bars.
3. Create a custom legend using a table visual at the top of your report, showing the full names and matching colors manually.
