    Absolutely agree!!! Power BI has to have this capability.

    An external consultancy I'm working with produced some sample output in Tableau. The dynamic trellis function is really well implemented and scales nicely to the page and looks really good. Onlt having Tableau reader, I tried to replicate in both Power BI and QlikView. Qlikview has this capability, but it is impossible to get make a usable visualistaion. Power Bi appears not to have this capability at all. This is a something that is urgently needed to make Power BI a real contender.

    MS drives me nuts with stuff like this. “All the functionality you are use to plus much much more! However, you can’t (insert something important I use all the time)”

    It’s driving me insane

    Please look at implementing this. Killer feature that Tableau has over PBI

    You can use Infographic Designer, a custom visual that supports small multiples!

    I'm having to drop into R to produce some of the visualizations my customers want, but then I lose drill down, which is a pretty big lost. Power BI really needs this.
