Parameters

alignTo

Time to align tables to. Default is 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z.

tables

Input data. Default is piped-forward data (<-).

Examples

Compare month-over-month values

  1. Window data by calendar month creating two separate tables (one for January and one for February).
  2. Align tables to 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z.

Each output table represents data from a calendar month. When visualized, data is still grouped by month, but timestamps are aligned to a common start time and values can be compared by time.
