Hi,

How can I specify the date histogram offset for a data table visualization in Kibana? The week aggregations start are Monday-Monday but I'd like Sunday-Sunday.

I tried putting this in the json input

{  
"aggs": {  
"by\_week": {  
"date\_histogram": {  
"field": "kPublishDate",  
"interval": "week",  
"offset": "-1d"  
}  
}  
}  
}

I'm getting this error: Visualize: Unknown key for a START\_OBJECT in [2]: [aggs].

How can I change the offset for the date histogram?

Thanks!

Hey @mandycoston, you should be able to specify the following JSON Input: `{ "offset": "-1d" }`
