That would also work visually, but what I had in mind was not to reduce the
width, but create the bars by separating them with vertical lines of the
correct height.

So, now I will need some time to play around based on your detailed
explanation :)

Wouldn't this actually create the desired bars in a more easy way? I will
try...

I can see where you are going with this. I want the total surface of 24 bars
to be the same as the surface for the 1 bar. So AVERAGE would be the correct
CF choice here, because only that CF would give me the same surface.  I will
try this.

I could (or maybe even should) still use LAST for the highest resolution
(one hour) in this case right? As it's one PDP or are all my 10 second tries
to store the value also CF'ed? 

I do need to read the tutorials again, because I am getting all these
questions about stuff I thought I understood.
