I'd like to mix in one dashboard historic data (a date histogram) with simple data e.g. a metric vis that should show metrics of the latest date inside the currently selected timepicker range.
Say my date field is `statCreationDate`, is the following the right approach to achieve it?

You would have to create to different visualizations and then add them to the same dashboard.
First would be the metric visualizations for the latest value. This is how: [Display latest value in a „Metric“](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/display-latest-value-in-a-metric/114930)
And for the second, just set a Date Histogram on the startCreationDate field in a line/area/bar chart.

Hmm, the Top Hit Agg allows me to display a single value for e.g. my latest timestamp.
However I want to display a metric on the latest timestamp: e.g. in my initial screenshot I want to have a Count metric (or as another example a sum metric on some field).
Your suggestion seems to work only for displaying a single value of some field but not a metric (but maybe I'm missing something?)

That's what I understood from your initial question. Can you give an explicit example with values and everything? This way I can understand your question better.

Say I have 1000 documents with `statCreationDate="10:00..."` and another 500 documents with `statCreationDate="11:00..."`. I select the whole day in the timepicker.
A `Count` metric would show now `1500`.
However I want to only count the docs from the latest `statCreationDate="11:00..."` which should result in 500 docs.
