Hi  
I am using Timelion to display the transaction trend comparison between Today, Day -1 and Day-5.

Below is my query

```auto
(.es(q="_type:ussd AND service:USERECHARGECARD",metric="avg:response_time").fit(carry).label("Day"),.es(q="_type:ussd AND service:USERECHARGECARD",metric="avg:response_time",offset=-1d).fit(carry).label("Day-1"),.es(q="_type:ussd AND service:USERECHARGECARD",metric="avg:response_time",offset=-5d).fit(carry).label("Day-5")).title("Voucher Topup Avg Latency")

```

However the data (index) for Day-5 doesn't exist and hence facing the following issues:  
1- "Error Timelion: Error: in cell #1: Cannot read property '1' of undefined" with the stacktrace as below

```auto
Error: in cell #1: Cannot read property '1' of undefined

    at processImmediate [as _immediateCallback] (timers.js:582:5)

```

Another query for Day-5 is working fine. The only difference is I am using metric and hence seems failing.

Pls advice if there is any error in syntax and Timelion should not throw error even if there is no data.

Looks like you found a bug @mvenkat_in

I filed [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/9053](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/9053) and fixed it in [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/9054](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/9054). Hopefully we can get those merged soon and released with 5.1.0
