Hi all,

I need to do something like below but not able to figure out how to do it. Please help:  
Data set:

time,vir-memory, res-memory  
April21-2009,60,80  
April22-2009,34,56  
April23-2009,44,33

time,vir-memory, res-memory  
Dec10-2009,20,30  
Dec11-2009,10,44  
Dec12-2009,55,89

What I would like to see is, how can I compare these values on the same timeframe ? Like compare on the same x-axis - (what I see now is disjoint data.. I see x axis.. 3 values around April and then around Dec)

Could you please help ?

I have attached screenshot as to what I see and what I would like to see.

You will need to use timelion with the `offset` function to do that.
