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.

Need this to be able to pin a group of visuals representing a machine from a push dataset to a live dashboard!

I agree that the grouping feature is not all that useful without the ability to pin it.  Otherwise, the only thing it does is make it easier to move around on the page.

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

Absence of this feature renders any grouped visuals creation on Report pages useless for Dashboard creation as they cannot be pinned together. Need this please!

I agree with the above, this would be a great feature! I use the Gauge axis, but we have set tolerances and whether they are in green or red, so I have an image underneath the gauge to see the colours. But unfortunately cannot pin this important visual for the Senior Leaders dashboard.

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

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!
