Help request to Display Intraday data based Weekly charts

Dear Support,

I am trying to create charts that are equivalent of a historical weekly chart, but constructed from intraday data. I need to do that because I want to display information (Numbers bars, etc) that can not be used with historical (Daily, Weekly, etc) charts.

When I simply create a 5-days period intraday chart (Timeframe: 5-0-0), the last bar(s) look nearly identical to the Weekly bars, but the previous historical bars are completely different - obviously because of the different start time and the 'fraction' days like Sunday.

I do not expect/need these 5-days charts to be identical to the weekly bars 100% but would like to create something that is as close as possible.

May I ask you to provide some hints - what settings you recommend to adjust to end up with 5days charts as close to the weekly as possible?

Thank you in advance.
