Use this feature when you need to set multiple comparative visuals in a row. When you activate the small multiples feature, Amazon QuickSight creates a container or shelf of small visuals, presented side-by-side. Each copy of the visual contains a one view of the data. Using small multiples is a way to get a holistic view of your business, in an efficient and interactive way.
Small multiples aren't listed in the palette visualization icons. Instead, the option to create small multiples appears as a field well, in the visuals that support it.
To add small visuals to your analysis
-
On a line, bar, or pie charts, add a field to the Small multiples field well.

To see your small multiples, you need to enlarge the container that holds them, so you can see all of them at once.
