I am using Kibana 5.6 Timelion right now and found some weird behavior.  
I am setting an absolute time 2019-10-29 00:00:00.000 to 2019-10-29 23:59:59.999. And split rows by date histogram with daily interval. The data table returns me 1 data which is as expected. But in timelion will give me 2 data, both are the same value from the result of data table. Please see below screenshot.

And here is the payload from timelion. Hope this will help.  
`{"sheet":[".es(index='sa-gec.com_prereturn_join', timefield='PreReturn.creation_ts', q=\"(Vars_PreReturn.lad_segment:(lad_seg1 or lad_seg2)) AND (_exists_:PostReturn.creation_ts)\").label('LAD Daily Count').bars(15)"],"extended":{"es":{"filter":{"bool":{"must":[{"match_all":{}}],"must_not":[]}}}},"time":{"from":"2019-10-29T07:00:00.000Z","to":"2019-10-30T06:59:59.999Z","mode":"absolute","interval":"1d","timezone":"America/Los_Angeles"}}`

Could you please give me some clue how can I make timelion work as expected? Like return only one day data?

Thanks a lot.

That might be from the timelion handling partial buckets. I'm not aware on how it was in 5.6 as that is a couple years old, but you could try and add ".trim(0,0)" at the end of your query.

Hi @Marius_Dragomir,

Really sorry to reply you this late....  
I checked newer version 6.8 have the same issue. Even adding .trim(0.0) doesn't help.  
It actually very easy to reproduce.

I changed the time frame to absolute from 2019-11-27 00:00:00.000 to 2019-11-27 23:59:59.999.  
And then add a very simple query like:  
.es(index='bot\_log', timefield='ts').bars(15).trim(0,0). And interval to 1d.

You will see 2 bars on the chart shows. Both have same value.  
When I try exactly same from data table and I got only 1 response which should be correct behavior.

Just wondering what should I do on timelion to get the same behavior.

Thanks a lot!
