I have a vertical bar chart. X-axis is the Date Histogram Aggregation on timestamp. Interval is Daily. However, the labels are automatically generated and not matching the column very well. Is there a way to change that? For example, first column should be aligned to (shown as) July 2nd and last column should be July 12th. ![2018-07-12%2013_21_23-Processing%20Status%20Over%20Time%20(by%20day)%20-%20Kibana](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/b/0/b0c103656628534e05d7bf3c13879a5315b1ff6e.png) ---

You can adjust the advanced setting `dateFormat:scaled` to specify the interval label. Advanced settings can by adjusted by first selecting "Management" on the left and then selecting "Advanced Settings". By default the value for `dateFormat:scaled` is ```auto [ ["", "HH:mm:ss.SSS"], ["PT1S", "HH:mm:ss"], ["PT1M", "HH:mm"], ["PT1H", "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm"], ["P1DT", "YYYY-MM-DD"], ["P1YT", "YYYY"] ] ``` For example, you can adjust the day intervals format by changing `["P1DT", "YYYY-MM-DD"]` to `["P1DT", "MM-DD"]` to just view the month and day ---

Thanks. This only changes the intervals format. However, it's still not aligned. For example, the first column should be aligned to 07-02. the last one should be aligned to 07-13 (07-13 is not even displayed, actually) Because if you hover over the columns, the first one is for July 02, and the last one is for July 13th. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/4/14db056c8e137144cc936253fc6d7d24d14f2817.png) ---

I am not sure if that is possible. You can open a [feature request](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?template=Feature_request.md) to track the issue ---

Thanks. Looks like, if I use Monthly as Interval, it's not aligned correctly too. The columns are for May June July data respectively. However, they are not aligned correctly. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/1/d173ac22d23b67724c2a2788a189c669a419f6f9.png) ---

Also follow up with 2 questions. 1 In IE11, the x-axis lables are not displayed at all. Is this a known issue? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/2/827ba25b7a33e6584576b51731a04ca9ebabd930.png) 2 ["", "HH:mm:ss.SSS"], ["PT1S", "HH:mm:ss"], ["PT1M", "HH:mm"], ["PT1H", "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm"], ["P1DT", "YYYY-MM-DD"], ["P1YT", "YYYY"] Would you mind explain what does the first row-empty string mean? and why PT1H and P1DT are named differently? Shouldn't it be PT1D? ---
