hi everyone
I´m using kibana dashboards, and when I try to add a metric with unique count to select all uniques the number of uniques is not the same that the number of records that I have, for example in my index I've 52727 records but when I do the metric with unique count the result that I´ve is 52903, and I don´t know why, Isn´t problem of data the field that I´m using exist in each record, it doesn´t have spaces or any character that can be part of the problem, in fact is an UUID
hope you can help me

Hi @erickhillo Welcome to the community
Can you show the exact commands and the results you ran that resulted in these results? Otherwise we can't help 🙂

```auto
GET example/_search
{
"size": 0,
"_source": false,
"query": {
"match": {
"comprobante_type":"comprobantes"
}
},
"aggs": {
"Total_unique": {
"cardinality": {
"field": "myfieldhere"
}
}
}
}
```
this is my query and I got this result
```auto
},
"aggregations": {
"total_unique": {
"value": 72903
}
}
}
```

What version of Elasticsearch and Kibana is that?
Also one has a time frame and other does not?
What is the query in discover?
Also you should probably use a `term` query if the type is `keyword`
You can also look at inspect to see the query from Kibana...

I'm using kibana 8.13.3 same elasticsearch, no it's the total of record time doesn't matter
this is the query
```auto
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [],
"filter": [
{
"range": {
"cfdi:Comprobante.@Fecha": {
"format": "strict_date_optional_time",
"gte": "2019-05-07T23:58:19.815Z",
"lte": "2024-05-08T00:58:19.815Z"
}
}
},
{
"match_phrase": {
"comprobante_type": "comprobantes"
}
}
],
"should": [],
"must_not": []
}
```
