hi folks, At present I have a Kibana dashboard with a Terms panel driving a Histogram graph output. However I'd like to be able to select multiple entries (like a radio box) so that multiple lines will show on the Histogram. Note that the actual data is in a single column (from a SQL DB query) so doesnt seem like the same/known Kibana 3 limitation w/ multi field histograms. eg see below timestamp Dataset BW\_UTILIZATION 8/9/2015 0:00 A 14 8/9/2015 0:00 B 25 8/9/2015 0:00 C 33 8/9/2015 0:05 A 16 8/9/2015 0:05 B 22 8/9/2015 0:05 C 31 I'd like to be able to select dataset A and it would plot a histogram of BW\_UTILIZATION against time, then add selection of B and it would overlay the data on the same histogram plot. I've been able to achieve this by adding multiple query boxes (one for "A", one for "B" etc) - but its quite clumsy cos the actual Datasets in real-life have big long names - so i think my users copy-paste-patience will run out 😉 Any ideas on how to achieve this more cleanly? Thanks, Alan ---

Alan - Does your question pertain to Kibana 3 or Kibana 4? In Kibana4, it's quite easy to take a date histogram bar chart and split the bars by Terms based on another field (see screenshot). There is no corresponding functionality in Kibana 3 - you have to add individual queries to get a multi-layer bar chart. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/6/6c245f1c758c09413f3d93c6f68bd0a049b8b6a5.png) ---
