How to Create Small Multiples (Facet, or Panel) Visualizations

When you have a big table of data or want to compare data in a specific way, you might want to visualize each row or column of the table in an individual plot. Instead of creating lots of individual visualizations from the single table filtered on the row/column you want, you can create all of the charts within one visualization output using a small multiple visualization. This is sometimes referred to as a "Facet" or "Panel" chart.
