Ability to have multiple windows open for one document, just like Excel.

Excel - View tab, "New Window"

This function will save some headache while manipulating with the data, and having to click back forth between the tables or even the relationships.

Drill through Page to open in a new tab/window

When we drill through from a main page to the drill through page, it opens in the same tab/ window. This way if the user wants to view both the pages at the same time, they cannot do so.

New Window / Dual Window-screen

Hi, I'd find it very useful if PowerBI had the capability of having an additional window so you have the same file opened on two different windows. This capability is already in Excel (View > New Window). It becomes very useful to have two screens to compare formulas, referred back to tables, ...

It would be great if Power BI Desktop had the ability to open a second window for the same document, just like you can by going to View > New Window in Microsoft Excel.
