Are you referring to the X axis here showing the current date, not the one from last year? If yes, you can't change this - documenting the time shift in the label (as you did already) is the right approach here.

Hi @flash1293 ,
it's the first time i use Timelion visualization, i copy from this article :
[https://docs.support.siren.io/10.1.0/platform/en/siren-investigate/timelion/getting-started-with-timelion.html](https://docs.support.siren.io/10.1.0/platform/en/siren-investigate/timelion/getting-started-with-timelion.html)

I basically meant what you want to say with this sentence:

Can you elaborate what exactly your problem is? Display the same date where? How should it look like?

in the example above , the current year is 2020 the last should be 2019.
but it display the two years "current year :964" , "last year:700" in the same date (january31st2019).

The value in the brackets is the value of the current series on the y axis, not the year. It's the price at the given point in time

Can you clarify what you are trying to achieve?
Your visualization is already comparing data with the previous year (964 vs 700).

I see, this is not how Timelion works. The legend in the top left will always show the following information:
```auto
()
()
...
```
