Charts: Shift Time Series function Limitations on "Displayed" Data

In Charts, we have been using the “Shift Time Series” function (for creating a new Calculation time series) to assess data more effectively, but have now noticed a limitation where the calculation is limited to the data from the source time series already displayed.  If you look at the first image below (just a 10-min shift), you can see in the green calculation that there is a gap on the left where the calculation doesn’t exist due to the source data being “off the page”.  If we go to a more extreme scenario (2nd image below), now of the data shows since we are attempting a 2+ day shift in a time series.  Is there a solution where this limitation can be removed?  

For our scenario specifically, we are looking closely at (and comparing) three separate incidents that lasted about 1 minute each, but were spread out over the course of a week, so we are super zoomed in to look at the behavior signatures.  Thanks for the input!

Kind regards,

Richard

Hi, Richard. 

Thank you for the detailes description and screenshots. This shows some of the limitations we have today on the time shift function. 

Let us have a look at what we can do on how the data is fetched and if we can make this work better for your analysis. 

Best regards, Knut Vidvei
