I have created this date range filter on a visualization using the [acceptable date formats](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.8/common-options.html#date-math) here is my first draft ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/3/738bcc68990ea86452078e6f8370750e60f1db18.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/0/90e634c19e018c4e475abb1ac3b8faf80da948a6.png) OK, I am happy if I stick to now. But if I go back in time in my global filter, then the visualization is empty. This is normal behavior as we used `now` as reference. How can I match the ranges to the upper bound of the global date range filter? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/e/8e3093bece1ea7f117a20dadd105bdff5101906c.png) I'd like to use a variable that is the upper bound (`2020-06-30 14:34:42`) in the different ranges best ---

This isn't currently supported, and I couldn't find an issue describing this. What syntax would you expect to use to indicate these variables? ---

You could have 2 extra keyword, one for the upper bound and one for the lower bound. and still the `now` keyword. Of course, it is only for kibana, not for elasticsearch (`now` is a keyword for elasticsearch) So kibana should process those 2 keywords to replace them with the actual values before requesting. In the mean time, how can I display bars with a shift in time for each bar? do you have an alternative? ---

This is not supported using the Date Range aggregation. I created an issue for you [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/76433](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/76433) I think you can do this using Vega. I recently wrote new tutorials for how to do this, and here's the reference: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/vega-reference.html#vega-queries](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/vega-reference.html#vega-queries) ---
