Here's what the videos say we should get:

But here's what the query returns:

It groups by date successfully, but doesn't yield results by product.

Both of the online dashboard creation videos in the url below yield the desired results shown in the first screenshot above. Note: the source="tutorialdata.zip:*".

Field names are case sensitive - try using productId rather than productid
