How to create something like a cumulative date graph
Hello,

I have a column with different dates from events.

Example:

11-Apr-2013 23:08:09

11-Apr-2013 23:08:46

11-Apr-2013 23:09:38

11-Apr-2013 23:10:42

11-Apr-2013 23:10:54

I want to analyse at what time most of the events were generated.

I was thinking of doing something like counting the amount of events per minute.

With the sample data the graph should say:

11-Apr-2013 23:08 => 2

11-Apr-2013 23:09 => 1

11-Apr-2013 23:10 => 2

Any idea of how it?

Thanks
