@john_q could you please add a mock screenshot of what is the expected output?

Ideally when you compare time-series data over a duration, the duration needs to remain the same for different time period selected (as duration is plotted on fixed x-axis). For example You can compare current week with Previous week and that with the week before. For such scenario, you can use the timewrap command which is available version 6.5 onward.

Hi john_q,

take a look at this answer https://answers.splunk.com/answers/663294/timewrap-compare-last-24-hours-to-the-same-day-ove.html to learn how this can be done without any sub search.

cheers, MuS
