I would add that you need the ability/option to set the axis to be independent of each other i.e. not use the same scale across each multiple.

There's no Trellis that even OBIEE has...a bit disappointed.

Yes Power BI should have this. This was in Power View I am just not following how MS is missing how important such little things are that makes a company choose another tool because of such little things. Also why would power BI be a step backwards in any aspect from power View.

This is a fundamental need. I currently use Spotfire which is amazing for visual flexibility and far outclasses Power BI at the moment

Trellis plots are heavily used in Tableau and in Spotfire. By quickly being able to generate separate plot for each value of a data field you can compare the values of different subsets with each other. This is especially powerful when used in conjunction with curve fitting, which enables you to see the different trends of each data set.

Agree using trellis views provides a great way of charting against a common axis. Tableau does it beautifully.

Small multiples is essential - you cannot compete without this feature.
