Hello everyone!

I have a line chart displaying raw numbers of lets say "# of blog posts" on a weekly basis.

![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/3/f3b0099002768e0b098663ae6a89b0ba52eb2972.png)

I'm confused if the data what I seen when I hover over a circle is the weekly data prior the circle or after the circle.

Please advice.

Thanks!

The buckets are "left aligned", so when you hover over the point and look at the tooltip it will show the timestamp of the left-side of the bucket; the bucket represents time from that point until the next point on the timeline.

For the chart in your screenshot it looks like you're charting monthly data, so the visible point would be for August.
