substract dates and times conditionned to 1 criteria

Hi all, 

 

I'm in trouble with some data I need to compare.

I've a table with some different session_ID and for each I've events with dates (see a sample in screenshot)

 

I want to compare the sessions on stacked timelines (with the same scale) , so I need to set the first event of each session as t=0 and count the time relative to it.

It suppose, for each session, to substract all times with date of 1st event of the session

For the moment, I can only plot the dates on separate timelines, one for each session (see capture).

 

Can you help with that ?

 

I can send you a sample if you want to try something 😉
