Combine multiple spans in timechart

Hi, I would like to chart daily, weekly and monthly active users (a lot like Facebook's Insights) all on the same graph. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like I can combine spans.

sourcetype="calls" | timechart span=1d dc(callerID) as "DAU" span=1w dc(callerID) as "WAU" span=1mon dc(callerID) as "MAU"

This certainly doesn't work but is the kind of thing I'm after.

It doesn't seem possible. timechart allow a single span.

I tried to append the results of 2 timecharts, it kind of work if :
- you order the timechart by increasing span order
- sort the time at the end
- select the graph option : connect missing values.

example
* | timechart count AS 10m span=10m | append [ search * | timechart count AS h span=1h ] | sort -_time
