Description

When I use the web-based app, I'm able to facet on a grid. For example in the sample Demo Vote data, I can create a grid of votes for Obama and facet by income level.

The same functionality is not available in the SandDance 2019 Power BI release available in the app store (last updated 07/23/2020). The only way to facet is by column which is not useful for my needs. According to the Vega spec, the web version schema is v5.json but the Power BI is v3.json.

Is this feature (or version) going to be released to Power BI? Is there a way to get this soon?

Thank you,
Gaelan

Research direction

Start by reproducing the facet workflow in the web-based app with the Demo Vote data, then compare it with the SandDance 2019 Power BI release. Investigate the stated Vega v5.json versus v3.json difference and determine whether facet support can be brought to Power BI. Done means the Power BI release supports the requested grid facet behavior or clearly documents the limitation and release path.
