Hi,

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/8/8847b85f2697a9f8ce2cb6cad3129a24dbab56e1.png)

I have list of values for each columns as shown in the reference screenshot above. But while plotting pie-chart, or any visualization, it is just counting the number of records.

Reference of Table Visualization of same index:

Expecting the count to be the sum of values in each records. For example total number of mit is 84.

Any lead will be more helpful.

Thanks

Kibana is not able to aggregate on nested types such as the arrays in your documents. [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/nested-objects.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/nested-objects.html)

We have an issue to track this feature request here. [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/1084](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/1084)
