Hello, i have the following question: I have a string field and i want to count it and then divide it by the sum and calculate \*100 at the end. Theoretically I want to find out what percentage of each application uses and this should be displayed in the horizontal bar. The formula: Count string field / sum of all fields \* 100 Unfortunately I have not found this. Thanks in advance for the help. Currently I have created this visualization: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/b/1/b129644567f304b14fdafc1d796c6026d868c9e9.png) ---
