I think you should try something like this

| inputlookup xxxx.csv |eval _time=strptime(time, "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M") | timechart span=1d count

OR

| inputlookup xxxx.csv |eval _time=time | bin _time span=1d | stats count by _time

let me know if this helps!

Hi @adonio,

Thanks for your response.I'm getting this error while running the your solution:

"Error in 'timechart' command: The specifier 'as' is invalid. It must be in form (). For example: max(size)."
