Make the Flex Table the GOAT Chart it can be

I feel like the Flex Table has the potential to be the Domo GOAT chart, but it's so locked down, I end up never being able to use it. Here are my suggestions to unlock its potential:

1. Allow for multiple series, so you can group at more than one level. i.e.: first two columns are Region, State
2. Allow to set a manual vertical scale for the charts and/or give the option to sync the scales across the charts
3. Build in the ability to Trellis/Pivot. i.e. the rows could be states, and you could see the percent change across multiple product categories
4. Create a 'no change' symbol, or an option to have no symbol with no change
5. Allow the change color to propagate to the graph
6. Add chart types:
   1. horizontal box plot
   2. Waterfall
   3. Outlier/SPC
   4. Bullet
