Scripted fields only have access to the one document at a time, so you can provide a conditional check for certain fields but can't aggregate across documents.

If you want the total count of males you can do a data table visualization with a term or filter aggregation on gender. Does that help?

I see. Percentages in the data table aren't supported, but this does work with a pie chart.

If you want it in the data table you can workaround this by creating two scripted field and then using the average metric aggregation.

percent\_male

```auto
doc["gender"] == "male" ? 1 : 0

```

percent\_female

```auto
doc["gender"] == "female" ? 1 : 0

```

Make sure to select the percent field formatter too.

Depending on your situation, you may want to look at a plugin like datasweet, then you can do term query aggregations, and only do math on the client, rather than burden the server with a script for each doc. If that helps
