The Idea is to create a repeater charting component with horizontal and vertical repeat but enables to embed existing charts within (ex. KPI card listing, multi-guage listing etc...)

RE: Repeater for Power BI Charts


This would be extremely useful!

It could be done similarly to how Tooltips/Drillthrough work:

1. build a new page, configure it to act as a repeater item, and configure the attribute to repeat on (like drillthrough attributes)

2. drop a repeater into another page, configure the horizontal/vertical layout, and select the repeater page

Similar as putting a graph in a tablix in reporting services. I voted!

This is the BIGGEST weakness in Power BI and the reason I have had to skip it for multiple projects.

Yep. I did this with Cognos but now cannot meet the customer's expectations with Power BI.

RE: Repeater for Power BI Charts

A repeating container for visuals would unlock some amazing opportunities to extend visuals. In Tableau, I can create a score card by adding a bar, sparkline and KPI indicator to a repeating table. I can also do this in SSRS by placing visual report items in a table or matrix but I can't do this in Power BI.
