Can I show the distribution of textfield values in a pie chart?

This one sounds easy, but I just can't get it.

Situation is easy: A text field, which hat a couple of different values. Now I want to visualize the distribution with a pie chart.

E.g: 10 said yes, 5 no, 2 maybe, 4 abstentions.

But it looks like I can only use boolean, dates and number. Do I miss something or is this the wrong way to look at the problem ?

OK, it seems that this has to do with me still using strings. Sry.

That should only be true of the metric part (the count), not the dimension part (the way you are grouping the data). You can group on the string values in that field, basically just split the slices by "terms" on that field. Leave the metric as "count" and you should get what you want.
