# Time Bucket
## Time Bucket – Change the Date Bucketing
You can change the date bucketing for columns with date values in tables. To do this, hover over a column name in the table and click the  More menu icon.
Users allow you to bucket data at various levels of granularity—ranging from detailed (minute or Second) to broader levels like year. You can also group data based on its position relative to a larger time bucket. . For example, you can group data by month of quarter, or week of month. This flexibility helps tailor your analysis to the time-based trends most relevant to your reporting needs.
### 
Apply any of the VitaraCharts, such as the Vitara Bar Chart shown in the screenshot below. All relevant chart elements—data labels, axis labels, and tooltips—will consistently display the date in the format applied through the bucketing settings.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://tsdocs.vitaracharts.com/readme/time-bucket.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
