The easiest way would be to use either Timelion or the Visual Builder for this.

Here's one post where a user is doing the offset in Timelion;

> [@Timelion and ISO Week](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/timelion-and-iso-week/115238):
>
> Hi there, I would like to compare two weeks with: .es(index=my-index, metric="sum:sessions").label('past week'), .es(index=my-index, metric="sum:sessions", offset=-1w).label('prev week') At the moment with offset=-1w I get one day more then expected and after that every day duplicated in the timeline (x-axis) so how do I tell Kibana that I want to get an iso week?

And a tutorial here which includes offset time;

And here's some info on the Time Series Visual Builder which can also do offsets;
