Idea: Allow the same visual to have multiple configureable axis setups. And allow end-user to choose which one to apply, for example using a drop-down in the top part of the visual.

--------------------------------
[ Year, Week, Day [V]]
--------------------------------
Year, Month, Day
Fiscal Year, Month, Day
Region, Country, Product
Region, Sales Channel
--------------------------------


Problem: Many times I find myself having to create multiple visuals, or even multiple pages in reports just to show different "angles" of the same data or measures. For example, A weekly view is not compatible with a monthly view setup.
Or viewing the product sales by country, or by product line, or by customer type etc.
The measure / data is the same, i just want to the axis setup to be different depending on what the analysis question is.
If we would allow the user to choose which axis configuration to apply that would make the report creation work a lot simpler.
