How to drill on datetime data without aggregating into level above
I have some data with a DateTime column. What I need to be able to do is drill down to the second level. I've created my own hierarchy Year>month>day>hours>minutes>seconds.
The only problem is if I plot some data on a line chart, and I drill down to the day, hours, minutes or seconds level, the data is grouped by the whole amount.
For example, if I drill down to the Day7 level, it will give me the data for all Day7's across all months. Or if I drill down to hour4, it will aggregate across every hour4, across every day of every month of every year.
so this sample data has 2 days worth of data.
Below shows across 2 days:
If I drill down a level, it gives me the hours:
But as you can see the hours have been aggregated across both days.
I wanted to see the trend across the 2 days, so expect the chart to look something like the following:
Apologies for the crude illustration, but how can something like this be achieved?

Managed to solve it. If anyone is interested, the data type for the day/month/hour/min/sec columns I changed to Text. This stopped the data grouping into the number buckets
