May I know how can I show the count with % symbol (8.33 %) instead of just showing the count (8.33 ) in bar graph ?

Hi @Pranusha119 ,

Have you tried adding proper format?

{
    "mark": {
      "type": "text",
      "align": "left",
      "baseline": "middle",
      "dx": 3
    },
    "encoding": {
      "text": {"field": "PercentOfTotal", "type": "quantitative","format" :".0%"}
    }
  }

Best,
Oleg
