I have the following json objects in my elasticsearch index:

```
{
    "model": "toyota",
    "color": "red",
    "transmission":"auto"
}

{
    "model": "toyota",
    "color": "green",
    "transmission":"auto"
}

{
    "model": "tesla",
    "color": "red",
    "transmission":"auto"
}

{
    "model": "tesla",
    "color": "red",
    "transmission":"manual"
}

```

I would like to create a table that counts the number of vehicles with the specified properties as follows from this data: ![40 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/8/08478a8fa7e5edd756bb0cd794bc4163fd5afae8.png)

Is this possible?

Hi @sudhanva,

unfortunately not, but this is a feature that is requested frequently, e.g. in [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/9585](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/9585) and [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/3620](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/3620). The targeted solution to both would be the pivot table, which is tracked in [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/5049](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/5049). Please feel free to add your use case to the issue to give our visualizations team a better picture of the requirements. Thank you!
