How to use timechart in 3 directions?

Hi all

I know that other people have asked similar questions but I have had no success in replicating their use cases. I am trying to display a timechart with lines showing sales for multiple stores, broken down by region and then city.

For example, Region A, has Cities A, B and C, Region B also has Cities A, B and C but inside each of those cities, there are between 2 and 5 stores. So when we click on a selector at the top, to select Region A for example, I need to show a trellis, broken out by city, showing a timechart with lines representing the sales for each store over the past say 6 months.

Hopefully I am explaining this well enough

Thanks

Hi @SquarePeg,

you cannot put two fields in the BY clause of timechart.

But you can use the bin command to discretize _time bins and then use a stats count BY _time and the other keys:

<your_search>
| bin _time span=1h
| stats count BY _time key1 key2

Ciao.
