Hi,

Similar to this [Case](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/specify-date-histogram-offset-in-kibana/83169)  
I am trying to display current time period (4hrs) Sum of value for a Device in one column  
And yesterday's Sum of value (4hrs) for the same device in another column.

I am guessing there should be a way to use offset (-1d) to get the values for yesterday.  
But need some help to achieve that.

Using the [Case](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/specify-date-histogram-offset-in-kibana/83169) , i am getting an error when i put that under date histogram.

@karnamonkster

I don't think it is possible to get this in a column layout (row = device + today + yesterday tuple). And I also don't think you can specify a time-range with an offset that is not the current time (for the yesterday column).

I would file an ER [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new)
