I want to do a chart like this:

 ![56](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/4/c435043e2f6f90e3c0ae41149f88c7c5c96a717a.png)

So I have two fields "rest\_of\_the\_world" and "china" that I want to display on the same bar chart. The Y axis is supposed to be the number of document that contain a X value (a count).

So for instance I have 150 documents that have "1996" in the field "rest\_of\_the\_world" and "15 documents that has "1996" in the field "china".

Is it possible to do such a chart with Kibana? And will it be possible to plot the difference between the two?

This is possible with timelion, [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/timelion.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/timelion.html).

Isn't this for time series data? In my case it is an integer not a date
