Hello Everyone,

While I'm using Timelion feature I'm getting below error -

Timelion: SyntaxError: {"type":"incompleteFunction","function":"es","location":{"min":0,"max":3},"text":".es"}  
Visualize: SyntaxError: {"type":"incompleteFunction","function":"es","location":{"min":0,"max":3},"text":".es"}

My Timelion Expression is Below -

.es(index='mtest\*’, q='"PaymentStatus: COMPLETED"', metric='count', offset=-7d, timefield='@timestamp').lines(width=2, fill=2).label('thisdaylastweek\_Count'), .es(index='mtest\*’, q='"PaymentStatus: COMPLETED"', metric='count', timefield='@timestamp').lines(width=3).label('current\_Count').title(‘Payment\_Status\_Trend')

Please suggest. Thanks.

Hi @Harsh_Sharma,

You have three stray `‘` and `’` characters instead of the single quote character `'`. Try replacing those and it should look like:

```auto
.es(index='mtest*', q='"PaymentStatus: COMPLETED"', metric='count', offset=-7d, timefield='@timestamp').lines(width=2, fill=2).label('thisdaylastweek_Count'), .es(index='mtest*', q='"PaymentStatus: COMPLETED"', metric='count', timefield='@timestamp').lines(width=3).label('current_Count').title('Payment_Status_Trend')

```
