How do I generate a histogram for the below scenario?

Traveler data contains number of nights booked.  
Histogram's Y-axis should say percentage of travelers, and X-axis should say number of nights booked such as 80% booked 1 night, 10% booked 3 nights, 10% booked 5 nights.

In Pie chart, I could generate the above scenario, but a Histogram in the form of bar chart would be more appropriate.

This sounds kind of like an example in a blog post I wrote for Canvas: [https://discuss.elastic.co/t/canvas-blog-stream/126823/38?u=tsullivan](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/canvas-blog-stream/126823/38)

From the blog post:

> Unfortunately, scaling y-axis to percentage isn't possible to do with the current built-in visualizations tools in Kibana yet

That information is still true, as far as I know.
