I have a stacked bar graph made for the following data, ![sample1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/7/27e9157118f3144bfd1dcfeee755e146ab3d343c.png) The bar graph looks like this, ![sample2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/7/476df5adb3aa75c936cb81045cb028e9c68bab70.png) I'd like to add another Y-axis to divide the graph based on months. How do I do this ? I use elasticsearch7.3.2 and kibana7.3.2 ---

What exactly do you mean by "another Y-axis"? You could use a "Split series" bucket which uses a monthly date histogram to split all of the positions you have by month as well - `P001` will become `P001 January`, `P001 February`, `P001 March` and so on. However as your chart is already really crowded it might make more sense to use a "Split chart" bucket and have a separate chart per month below each other. ---

What I wanted was the current graph split across different months, I think split chart would work, however my tool tip looks like this, ![sample3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/c/7ca6e7809a2eeb40af91b4269131291a5627660c.jpeg) Why is the month value like that and Is there a way to change the value that is shown ? Thanks for your help. ---

This is definitely a bug. I can't find the issue right now, but I just tested in the latest version and it doesn't happen there - upgrading your stack is probably the simplest solution. ---

I will try upgrading my stack and check. Thanks. ---

I upgraded my elasticsearch and kibana to 7.7.1 and this still happens. Could the problem be something else ? ---

Could you export your visualization and share the file here? Just to make sure I'm seeing the exact same thing as you./ ---

Sure. This is the link to the NDJSON file of the visualization. [https://www.sendspace.com/file/s48ts3](https://www.sendspace.com/file/s48ts3) ---

OK, I can reproduce now, thanks for the visualization. I didn't test with "Split chart", but with "Split series". This is definitely a bug, I reported it here: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/69364](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/69364) Till then using "split series" is probably your best option. ---
