Applying token to date time functions in a dashboard

Looking to build an interactive dashboard from csv file which contains timestamp. 

If we select last 7 days, am looking to filter 19th May to 13th May of data from this below sample table. 

Sample data: 

_timeIndexSourcetype
19-05-2024 05:30xy
18-05-2024 05:30xy
...  

 

One of the input am planning is Time frame, so if i've to pass the token to the panels am trying to use |eval Time=relative_time(now(),"$time_tok$") which is not working as time token comes with earliest and latest timestamps. So, I've tried strptime to convert but still no luck over there. 

Can someone suggest a better way?

Hi @PB Could you please share your dashboard's XML?

If I understand correctly, you want to pick a time range using Splunk's time picker on the dashboard, then have data from the CSV (lookup?) file returned by a search where the _time column in the CSV falls within the range specified in the time picker?

Hi @KendallW 
yes, that's exactly right. _time is one of the columns in a lookup file.

And I want to choose the _time range from Lookup file using the time picker in Splunk dashboard.
