Description

All of the time series and cumulative time series insight visualizations (e.g. Line Chart) allow me to group the results by time period:

But the total value insight visualizations (e.g. Table) do not:

I wish that was an option.

Often I don't want a Line Chart, I just want a Table, with the time period groupings. So I end up choosing something like Line Chart to get the data in a table, using the "Detailed results" section at the bottom. But the side effect is that the "Detailed results" table isn't shown on dashboards so I have to click into the insight to get the table I'm after. And now the insight is confusing to my team because it doesn't appear useful on the dashboard.

Research direction

Start by locating the time series, cumulative time series, and total value insight visualizations, then compare how their time-period grouping controls and detailed results are exposed. Done means a Table can show grouped time-series results and remains useful when placed on a dashboard.
