Option to put all data at X=0 when graphing

If I have a complex database and need to perform a comparison between the defined sets. However, for some reason like time difference, those will not start at the same time and will stretch the X range too far to be useful. There should be a function to set all datasets at the same start point on the X-axis.

    Thank you Ziyang, that is very clear.

    Say I have a bunch of production data that started at different times on the main timeline. 

    Now in order to compare them to each other directly. I have to somehow add a calculated column of elapsed days/time for each line. (Sometimes the expression function can be finicky as they don't recognize function commands that I copied from other Spotfire examples, which totally are working just fine on other saved files for the same application. But that's a separate issue)

    Therefore having a built-in function to put all lines starting at a set X value would be really helpful.

    Attached is an example of the said situation.

    Hello Ziyang and many thanks for contributing. To make sure I understand the problem correctly, could you provide some example data or screenshot?
