Shared Y-Axis & Scale To Fit options not available on a line chart using small multiples?

Hi.

 

I am trying to create a group of line charts using small multiples. I would like each graph to have a separate y-axis, so that the lines on each graph are more easily discernable/not smushed together since the first two graphs have much wider y-axis ranges. 

 

I realize that I could create six separate visuals, but I would lose the ability to view all of them at once in focus mode. Additionally, the space that I need to fit this in is rather small, so the formatting with legends/titles starts to look bad.

I found a few threads on this website that indicated that I can turn off the Shared Y-Axis option. However, I cannot find this option. From the screenshots and youtube video I found mentioning this option, it should be right below Invert Range. See the screenshot below for the y-axis options that are available to me.

I can't know why it isn't working for you without access to your pbix, but I attached the pbix with an example, you can follow my steps.

Hi @Jrob1765 ,

Your solution is great, @Ritaf1983. It worked like a charm! Here I have another idea in mind, and I would like to share it for reference.

If you want to use Shared y-axis, I think your Small multiples under Visual are required to put values.

That way when you select Y-axis it will show Shared y-axis.
