Is it possible to do a pie chart that gives the following with the below instance? Sum up the errors per factory and if the error count is equal to 3 or greater it would be classified as "Failing". If it's greater than 1 but less than 3 it's classified as "At-Risk". If it's zero then classified as 'Normal".

The pie chart would look like this 2 "Failing", 1 "At Risk", and 1 "Good".

|factory|error|  
|factory A|1|  
|factory A|1|  
|factory A|1|  
|factory B|0|  
|factory B|1|  
|factory B|1|  
|factory C|0|  
|factory C|0|  
|factory C|0|  
|factory D|1|  
|factory D|1|  
|factory D|1|

You have two options: either change your data in Elasticsearch, or learn to build a custom Vega visualization. We have [extensive documentation on how to transform you data into an entity-centric format](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/transforms.html), which is the generic solution to the problem you have described.

There are some limited cases where you can use Vega to calculate your metrics, and I think this might be one of them. You can see our [visualization feature reference](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/aggregation-reference.html) to compare features, and there's also documentation about how to integrate Vega with your queries.

Thank you for the quick reply. I will look more into the Vega resources you linked. I have been trying it in Vega and am struggling with the format.
