Hi,

I am trying to create a chart that shows the percentage of the total for each interval (bar). I can do this using split series as seen here:

 ![percent_split_area](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/f/af911bfa26ccd63b7f78335b4c625cabc200bd88.png)  
The config:  
 ![config_split_area](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/0/20c4f42970d56b1fbd40abd296f887cd8e35a2dc.png)  
 ![config_split_area2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/8/d887a9e782db854e7ab23cc738acd42009f68496.png)

But I want the bars labeled at the x-axis. This is another chart I created where the x-axis is what I want, but each bar is 100%.

 ![percent_x_axis](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/a/7a55302aa03460e8920640e98ed7fe2bc1fb2bb9.png)  
The config:  
 ![config_x_axis](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/f/7f78329341af8b61e6e9c78342bbc693a5990128.png)  
 ![config_x_axis2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/9/f995d8f205ba96692a1634a0a929113f3adcee0b.png)

Is there any way I can get the first chart with the proper percentages of total but have the x-axis as in the second chart?

Thanks!

I don't know of any way to get the split series labels to be by the bars. But you're the second person today I heard that wanted that! So I filed this enhancement request;

> <https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/13537>

Please take a look at it and if you have any comments please add them there.

Regards,  
Lee

you should disable percentage mode when you split by x axis, percentage mode only makes sense with split series, however split series will not label your x axis
