Hello,

Is there a way to display the percentiles of the number of documents for an histogram for example ? Wen I select pecentiles, only fields can be selected.

Thanks

I think the percentile of the count would always be 100%. I guess I'm not understanding your data and/or question. Maybe a screenshot of what you have and description of what you'd like would help.

Dear @LeeDr,  
Sorry it's not about percentiles but simply convert the count values in the y-axis to percent of the number of documents.
