Hi,

I'm indexing my support tickets and got two fields called `issues.createdon` and `issues.closedon`. I want to create a graph that shows two bars per day with the count of each field so I can quickly see the amount of tickets opened and closed on a single day.

When selecting count and data histogram this works fine with only one field. But adding a second field by splitting the table created very thing hard to read lines.

This must be super simply but for some reason I'm unable to create a nice looking graph.

I would use a filters aggregation for the split series and then change the bar chart mode from "stacked" to "normal".
