Can we add two new "bucket by" options on interface charts? I would like to view my data by the half hour and by the quarter hour to see when people are checking out of our space.

I would love an option to NOT bucket. As far as I can tell, Airtable allows for only on data point along the X-axis, which seems odd?

I want to show environmental data bucketed by date, then hour. I am trying to show variation over time and i can only bucket by either date or hour which does not convey the data story i am trying to tell. I can do the right way with the Chart extension feature, but cant display extensions in an interface. The extensions simply allows you to not bucket, so each date + time is reported on the x axis

Sadly I have requested this change several times and the response from Airtable has been that they are working on it. The existing bucket functionality creates a very misleading chart. 

I presume that they refer to the database as simple a “base” because there is very limited “data” functionality.

Why isn't there a no bucketing option? Bucketing does not work for my timeseries readings at all.
