I want to use start and end times that I’ve gotten from data and use those as the bounds on the x-axis for a graph on a report. How can I do this? when i try to change the bounds in the time series chart, it won’t let me.

Whatever column in your dataset that you specify as the “Domain Key” for the chart will be used to automatically set your bounds.
