Hi All, I was wondering if there was a way to use a date histogram function within the Metric visualization. I'm trying to transfer a visualization from Grafana to Kibana, but I'm unable to find the correct way to do this as I'm using a data histogram to show a singular metric. This is what my Grafana visualization looks like: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/6/16118ddf10b4659c907eb8a99dc79d386bd829d7.png) This is what I have so far for Kibana: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/a/6ac4dae473e1c42310f8b35f53deda90936fc69a.png) What I would expect I'd need to do, is do a cumulative sum of differences, kind of like: `cumulative_sum(differences(max(prometheus.ifHCInOctets.counter)))` But when I try this, I get the following error: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/1/f1d31313cd25592fcd7bbb7f9446555995448c7c.png) Is there a way currently in Lens to achieve what I'm trying to do? ---

Hello, unfortunately it's not possible in the released versions yet. We are going to release it though in the upcoming version (8.5). ---

Thanks @Marta_Bondyra for the update, by chance would you have a link to a public GitHub issue to follow along/track? ---
