Hi, I am trying to make two different Rx/Tx for data transmission over and below X-axis  
followed the tutorial on Timelion page.  
Problem: Y-axis units doesn't hold universal. ![no_scale](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/b/6bad88b188057e3de4a8dfc0acc61625c3a7bfbb.png)

//.es(index=rfdata\*, timefield=time, metric=sum:rx\_bytes).label(Rx).yaxis(units=bytes)  
,.es(index=rfdata\*, timefield=time, metric=sum:tx\_bytes).label(Tx).lines(width=2).multiply(-1).yaxis(units=bytes)

Sorry, this is unfortunately a bug in timelion. I opened issue [#17623](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/17623) for that, so that you can follow it to stay updated.

Cheers,  
Tim

Hi Nikhil,

I fixed that issue, and with the upcoming 6.3 release this will work as you expected it to work.

Cheers,
