Additional Information
Tableau requires times in Date & Time fields to be associated with a date. This allows for chronological sorting across days.In order to graph times from different days on top of each other, the times must be shifted to the same day. If the original data does not include a date, then a Date & Time field can be created with an arbitrary date.
