Ok, now I understand your problem. I think the easiest would be to directly modify your URL:

https://[nameofthehost]/dashboards#/{...}**time:(from:now%2Fd-12h,to:now%2Fd-12h))**{...}

The bold part is what you need to use.

The value `now%2Fd-12h` is an escaped value for `now/d-12h`.Firstly we round 'now' to a day `now/d` (which gives us the 00:00:00 today) and then we subtract 12 hours (which gives us noon yesterday). The closing value will give us 23:59:59 today and we get 11:59:59 today after subtraction. If you need something more complicated, take a look at the docs:
