Hi! Thanks for the grouping feature. An awesome function in that context would be to allow a pin of such grouped visuals to a dashboard (as this group)! I give you one example: We have modelled a "heatmap" using the matrix visual, showing absiolut values in the cells and coloring the cell background (conditional formatting) using a key figure "delta to budget". As it's not 100% iuntutive if the colorization relates to prior month, forecast or budget, we have added a legend in the way that we added an image (showing a mini screenshot of the colorscale) and a textbox (explaining "< -5% / > +5% vs. BG"). Currently I can only pin the three visuals (Matrix, Image,. TExtbox) indivudally to our management dashboard (which looks NOT very nice for the image and textbox - as to much space is wasted) or need to use a workaround (create a hidden page with those three visuals, resize and pin the live page). Much more convinient would be to now - haveing the grouping feature available - to simply pin the group of those visuals to the dashboard.

This feature is high required now, otherwise we need to pin each visuals individually which is time consuming.

I encountered the same situation and came across this thread. It seems this is not yet possible. It would be a very useful feature.

Perfect Idea that MUST be created by the Power BI Team. Otherwise grouping visuals make no sense and they are not usable in dashboards!

RE: Pin visual groups (on grouped level) to dashboards

This would be a HUGE benefit for being able to pin custom KPI creations that people make as one visual on a dashboard vs 5+ visuals that end up looking horrible on a dashboard. Love this idea!
