I have these daily records (`DayOfTheYear`\*, `NumericValue`) that span multiple years and I would like to plot them in the same histogram to visually try to spot similarities.

I actually managed to plot them using split series. The `NumericValue` on the `Y-Axis` and `DayOfTheYear` on `X-Axis`. Then I added `Split Series` with `Sub-Aggregation` with each year as `Filters`. So I have something like that:

[![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/MfIG5.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/MfIG5.png)

But then I noticed that if I change the `Aggregation` on the `Y-Axis` from min to max.. the plots differ. What kind of aggregation is done? Since there's only one numericalValue/Day should't it be the minimum and also the maximum of that day? How could I simply plot the actual data (no aggregations)?

\*`DayOfTheYear is extracted from Date(YYYY/MM/dd).`

Hi,

Unfortunately its not possible with Kibana visualizations now. Kibana is built on the concept of aggregations. You can try using Vega in Kibana to see if its possible.

Thanks,

I did not know about Vega. I will check it out.

Regarding the question, I had daily records for more items. So I forgot to filter by item. When you have only one record per day, the min is also the maximum of that day.
