However, that's exactly why selecting the *same* timestamp for both returns empty results. The backend generates the SQL predicate `column >= start AND column < end` [[2]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/models/helpers.py). So if a user picks the same value for both (e.g., `2024-01-15 00:00:00`), it becomes `column >= '2024-01-15 00:00:00' AND column < '2024-01-15 00:00:00'` — which is a contradiction, so nothing matches. To get everything in a single day, a user would need to set start to `2024-01-15` and end to `2024-01-16`. The issue reporter's point is that this is confusing UX — selecting the same value for both fields silently produces no results without any feedback. Whether that warrants a validation warning or is acceptable given the labeled semantics is a design call. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](<https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot?utm_source=github&utm_medium=bot-comment&utm_campaign=github-comment-footer-20260415&utm_content=reply-with-mention&utm_term=apache%2Fsuperset>).* --- Docs are dead.
