# Small Multiples

The Small Multiples feature in Powerviz heatmaps enables you to create multiple heatmaps side by side, each representing different subsets or categories of data. This setting allows for easy comparison across various dimensions or periods, making it simpler to identify patterns and trends across multiple data segments in a unified view.
