Do you have any data that we could build an example off of? If so it
would be great if you could put it in a txt, csv etc file and email it
to me at jasonweathersby at windstream dot net.
BTW for changing the group unit you could use some script like:

The issue is that all series must have the same number of data points
and a common x-axis value. One way around this if you are using 3.7.2
may be to use the relative time period element that was added. You
could create a cube in the report and add a crosstab. From the crosstab
create a chart view that shows the results. Take a look at the attached
example. The first element is a crosstab with a relative time
aggregation and then the second element is a copy of the first with a
chart view added.
