Hi, I have
StartTime,EndTime
"2023-12-05 05:30:00.0000000","2023-12-05 08:00:00.0000000"
"2023-12-05 08:00:00.0000000","2023-12-05 09:30:00.0000000"
"2023-12-05 10:28:00.0000000","2023-12-05 13:30:00.0000000"
I need to visualize a column chart, with 3 columns (in this case) with height 1 (y axis). The width of the first column is between "2023-12-05 05:30:00.0000000","2023-12-05 08:00:00.0000000", second one between "2023-12-05 08:00:00.0000000","2023-12-05 09:30:00.0000000", the third between "2023-12-05 10:28:00.0000000","2023-12-05 13:30:00.0000000". The x axis should be the time. Attached example. Any idea, please?

Hi ITWhisperer, I fixed it. Thank you very very much for your help,
with this, it is working properly (look attached 2.jpg):
| sort StartTime
| eval row=mvrange(0,4)
| mvexpand row
| eval _time=case(row=0,strptime(StartTime,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"),row=1,strptime(StartTime,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"),row=2,strptime(EndTime,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"),row=3,strptime(EndTime,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"))
| eval value=case(row=0,1,row=1,1,row=2,1,row=2,0) ´here is the difference
| table _time value

I have 1 question. The solution shows the time range in restricted _time. It is possible to expand it into/show in selected time range, which is defined in the time range picker? To the range addinfo.info_max_time, addinfo.info_min_time?

I am not sure how your solutions works since you are not setting _time when row=3, and it is not clear what "restricted" _time is, nor what your expected result should look like.

1. there is a time range picker object on the dashboard. If I select any range, e.G. the whole day 05.12.2023, this time range I would like to have on x-axis in area chart.
2. in this case,
| eval _time=case(row=0,strptime(StartTime,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"),row=1,strptime(StartTime,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"),row=2,strptime(EndTime,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"),row=3,strptime(EndTime,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"))
| eval value=case(row=0,0,row=1,1,row=2,1,row=3,0)
the time range of the x-axis in area chart is from the first StartTime (05:30) ... last EndTime (13:30).

This is, what I want to achieve. 3.jpg. Time range from the time range picker. In this case the day 05.12.2023.

And here is the solution
| eval row=mvrange(0,6)
| mvexpand row
| addinfo
| eval _time=case(row=0,info_min_time,row=1,strptime(StartTime,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"),row=2,strptime(StartTime,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"),row=3,strptime(EndTime,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"),row=4,strptime(EndTime,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"),row=5,info_max_time)
| eval value=case(row=0,0,row=1,0,row=2,1,row=3,1,row=4,0,row=5,0)
| table _time, value

Try something like this
| makeresults format=csv data="StartTime,EndTime
2023-12-05 05:30:00.0000000,2023-12-05 08:00:00.0000000
2023-12-05 08:00:00.0000000,2023-12-05 09:30:00.0000000
2023-12-05 10:28:00.0000000,2023-12-05 13:30:00.0000000"
| eval row=mvrange(0,4)
| mvexpand row
| eval _time=case(row=0,strptime(StartTime,"%F %T.%6N"),row=1,strptime(StartTime,"%F %T.%6N"),row=2,strptime(EndTime,"%F %T.%6N"),row=3,strptime(EndTime,"%F %T.%6N"))
| eval value=case(row=0,0,row=1,1,row=2,1,row=3,0)
| table _time value
Then use an area chart viz

Hi ITWhisperer, thx for sharing it. Unfortunately, if I run your code I receive no results.

As you can see from my runanywhere example, it does work. How have you actually implemented my suggestion? What results do you get? What do your actual events look like?

But, if I use this code on the content, which I mentioned in the main describtion, I receive these results (see attch 1.jpg). And this is quiet good for me, except the triangel step. Any idea, how to fix it?
| eval row=mvrange(0,4)
| mvexpand row
| eval _time=case(row=0,strptime(StartTime,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"),row=1,strptime(StartTime,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"),row=2,strptime(EndTime,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"),row=3,strptime(EndTime,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"))
| eval value=case(row=0,1,row=1,1,row=2,1,row=3,0)

Looks like you haven't evaluated _time
| eval _time=case(row=0,strptime(StartTime,"%F %T.%6N"),row=1,strptime(StartTime,"%F %T.%6N"),row=2,strptime(EndTime,"%F %T.%6N"),row=3,strptime(EndTime,"%F %T.%6N"))
