Time intelligence with half-hourly data

I have several years of data collected at half-hourly intervals. I wish to compare (for example) all the half-hourly data for January 1st 2018 with January 1st 2017 in a graph, overlaying one day's data over the other, at the half-hour level, i.e. not summed for the day.

 

The two dates need not be infinitely variable with respect to each other - sticking to this year / last year would be OK.

 

I haven't been able to do this with time intelligence functions as this can only drill down to Date level.

 

I would welcome any suggestions.

 

Thanks

Ideally I would like to compare the individual data points (i.e. not summed) across time periods, e.g. Jan-2018 with Jan-2017, or week1-2017 with week1-2018, etc, etc.
