How do I get the percent of total on a pie chart?


I added pie name and pie value, then change the pie value format to a percent. Rather than giving me a percent of a total, it is giving me the percent. For example, one of my numbers is 799. When I change the format to a percent, I get 79,900%.


What am I doing wrong?

    You need to tell it to display the percent of total. This can be done under Data Label Settings then using %_PERCENT_OF_TOTAL  as the Text value.

    Is it possible to use %_PERCENT_OF_TOTAL on a state map visualization? Otherwise how can I show percentages of total on that instead of counts?

    FYI, this SEEMS to work but I wanted to validate that it is the right way to do it:

    COUNT(DISTINCT(`Main Ticket ID`))/ COUNT(COUNT(DISTINCT(`Main Ticket ID`))) OVER ()

    UPDATED: That doesn't work. Do I have to do windowing in my ETL to display a percent of total on a State chart? Seems kind of silly since you can do it on other chart types.

    Ahhh… this appears to be the right way to do it.

    COUNT(DISTINCT(`Main Ticket ID`)) / SUM(COUNT(DISTINCT(`Main Ticket ID`))) OVER ()
