Please add the ability to segment charts by different dimensions. This is would be like the "facet" functionality in sanddance or like what you can easily do in Tableau--essentially one visualization repeated many times across each dimension value (e.g. region).

RE: Mutiple Charts Faceted or Segmented by one or two dimensions

Closest thing I can currently think of in Power BI is using the Infographic Designer visual to repeat a "layout" by columns/rows, and this is actually providing the closest experience to a "repeater" component I have found so far. But still, with the Infographic Designer you cannot for example include and repeat buttons (maybe dynamically linked to bookmarks or doing actions), or slicers, or mouse-hover effects.

I agree. Nice to do in R and bring in, but should be a built-in visual.

While this can be done in R and brought in, it would be handy to have this feature by default in Power BI.

I also need something like this. It makes more easy to analyze plenty of data that use the same x axis and y axis values

'Yes, this is a must have for me. R ggplot facet_grid is another example of this. With this functionality we would be able to create compact dynamic grids of charts for things like:
- correlation analysis
- excel-sparkline like minigraphs
- dynamic set of kpi cards created depending on slicer slections
- etc.

This is the kind of things that distinguish a real exploratory/insight discovery tool from
traditional BI packages.
