Hi, I'm facing an issue while creating a data table. I wish to change the colour of the cells on the basis of their percentage value. Data shown below:

 ![q1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/2/42c6fe1f6348c8ba577825679ffacee9d16aa18f.png)

The issue is that the field is of type 'number' while I want to display percentage values. This is possible by editing the settings of field under 'Index Patterns' (as shown).

 ![q](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/a/0a3156a198148430a9937be8c181ac9b6a2afd5f.png)

However, I am unable to do both the required things (i.e. change the colour + change to percentage) as the 'Format' can either be set as Percentage or Colour (and not both). Is there a way to solve this?

Thanks 🐅

Hi Suhas,

This is not currently available in Kibana, but it's a great suggestion. I've added an enhancement request for it over here: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/19953](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/19953)
