Using SWITCH() and a table of measures, I'm able to use the small multiples feature to display multiple measures for long lists of items/customers/categories in a graph that scrolls together. This feature is a big problem solver for some of the reporting I'm typically asked to build.
One limitation I've found is that if I want to display an actual $ measure and a % measure together, the x/y axis will auto format to accomodate the $ figure, typically meaning the percent figure is not visible. I'm not finding an option to change scale by measure/category in the usual places.
I believe the fix may be listed in the Small Multiples Milestone list:
Preview Milestone 2
Beyond this eventual fix, has anyone found a workaround that allows us to set the axis scale of the individual "multiples"? Or does anyone have any insight on how far off Milestone 2 might be? I'm a relatively new user and not sure how long features like this stay in preview.
Hey guys, you could refer to this page. It has worked for me.

Very helpful!!! Thanks!
Thanks a lot. This feature is exactly what I needed. I was worried for a minute when I could not find this feature. Without your comment, I may have given up.
Glad it helped 🤙
As far as I know, this feature still isn't available, although it would be very helpful. I voted for this idea: Small Multiple Line Chart with Auto-Adjusting Y-Axis
Has there been any workaround for this feature?
I am still unable to synchronize the Y axis in small multiples, I would like to have for each small multiple a Y-axis range that matches the range of data provided.
In the below example: Quality score example, scores can be 0-5 scale or a percentage score 0-100%, depending on the question asked. It is not possible for me to customize each Y-axis of the small multiple. I don't want to build a new visual per question.
What is the solution/work around?
Tableau is able to customize the Y-axis range for each small multiple:
Any updates on this? This is a really critical option to make small multiples useful in many more situations.
I am also following up on progress/due date with the preview milestone 2 on option for a synchronized or unsynchronized Y axis on small multiples. Has this been completed yet, if not, does the functionaly have a due date for delivery? Thanks.
Is there any news on that "Milestone 2"? I couldn't find a solution and I'm really surprised this feature wasn't added. To me this is a solid "must have" as almost in every scenario when I "play" with absolute values in small multiples chart I see big variation of data. At this point this tool is useful basically only for some relative KPI's like sales per units, % returns etc.
Can't agree more with you @pirdim
Seems we aren't getting a straight answer yet as "WHEN" exactly this would be implemented.
