Apologies if I'm not using the correct terminology for the kibana fields I'm referring to. I have a need to create a day-over-day (or WoW etc) comparison visualization for a given time range. I'm able to do it for a fixed time range (like today vs yesterday or today vs same day last week etc), but would like to have the ability to dynamically adjust my panel query to consider the global time range on the dashboard. For instance, consider the screenshot below: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/c/ec05920c55b62546bbde3e53bbf9e36f29472fe7.png) As can be seen, the panel filters hardcode for 'today' and comparison series are relative to that. If the global time range were to change to 'yesterday', my graph will show nothing as the data points fall off the range. What I'd like to do in the panel is something like this: 'target series filter': "@timestamp\>{{earliest}} and @timestamp \<={{latest}}" 'comparison series (prev day) ': "@timestamp\>{{earliest}}-1d and @timestamp \<={{latest}}-1d" 'comparison offset': 1d where {{earliest}} and {{latest}} are tokens that represent the values from the global time range selection. TIA for your help! ---

I don't think this is currently possible, but it seems like a very reasonable request. It seems similar to these two issues on GitHub: > > > Request for global time-picker value > > I would like to see if there is a way t…o pull the current days/hours that are being displayed and used as the time picker value. For example, if the user has selected 'Last 24 hours' this value would be 24. If it was 7 day it would be 7x24=168. I assume that current time picker works off what time range is displayed but for various reasons I cannot use those values. > > Here is a very simplistic use case for further explanation: > Every user at a company works a variable number of hours a day. The executives would like a dashboard that shows the average number of hours worked over a certain time period for each employee plus for all employees. > > Here is a not so simplistic use case: > On that dashboard an executive would want employees highlighted in red if they worked more than 40 hours in the last five workdays (depending on their scheduled days), green if they have worked less than 32 and yellow if they have between 32 and 40. However, if they are have worked between 1-4 hours over the last 10-14 consecutively , make them purple. > > Obviously the first could be easily achieved in Kibana and probably maybe the second but for my situation that time picker value is embedded in a complicated math function. So knowing how much time is being displayed would be extremely helpful. I hope this makes sense. > > > BTW, love the products you make > > > \
