Hey,

this will not be possible outside of timelion, since it would require to work on the same index with different time fields at the same time. I also gave a rather detailed explanation in [this forum post](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/follow-up-metrics-of-daily-open-count-from-open-and-closed-date-and-create-bar-chart/131352/) that is about pretty much the same problem (even though it's a bit different domain of data).

Cheers,  
Tim
