Hi,

I have an Index "school"

Each record in "School" is like  
{  
finance\_dept: {  
"budget" : $10000  
"spend" : $5000  
"money\_left" : $5000  
}  
........

How to show "budget", "spend" & "money\_left" in a single Timelion graph

Hi,

In Timelion, you can show multiple data series in a chart by making multiple expressions separated by a space. For example, to show "spend" vs "money\_left", you would do:

`.es(metric=min:money_left) .es(metric=sum:spend)`

It is a type of aggregation built into Elasticsearch to get the number of unique values for a field: [Cardinality aggregation | Elasticsearch Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations-metrics-cardinality-aggregation.html)
