Dynatrace Application Performance Management: How to replace subsearchs to make a chart using percentile?

Hi,

I'm currently working with data from Dynatrace and I have a field that contains responseTime(in milisecond). I would like to use the chart percX(Y) function to make a result like this :

Percent | time_Seconds
10% | 1s
20% | 2s
30% | 6s
40% | 7s
50% | 8.5s
60% | 9s
70% | 9.1s
80% | 9.6s
90% | 10s

So I did something like this to get the precedent result :

my search| eval Percent="10%" | chart perc10(responsetime) as time_Seconds over Percent |
append [my search |eval Percent="20%"| chart perc20(responsetime) as time_Seconds over Percent] |
append [my search |eval Percent="30%"| chart perc30(responsetime) as time_Seconds over Percent] |
append [my search |eval Percent="40%"| chart perc40(responsetime) as time_Seconds over Percent] |
append [my search |eval Percent="50%"| chart perc50(responsetime) as time_Seconds over Percent] |
append [my search |eval Percent="60%"| chart perc60(responsetime) as time_Seconds over Percent] |
append [my search |eval Percent="70%"| chart perc70(responsetime) as time_Seconds over Percent] |
append [my search |eval Percent="80%"| chart perc80(responsetime) as time_Seconds over Percent] |
append [my search |eval Percent="90%"| chart perc90(responsetime) as time_Seconds over Percent] |
eval time_Seconds = time_Seconds/1000

But using subsearches is not optimal and I have some trouble with it. Anyone knows how to do it in a better way? Thank you!

Start with something like this, then reformat the results as needed with transpose or foreach.

   | stats 
    perc10(avgdiskreadpersec_last) as 10%,
    perc20(avgdiskreadpersec_last) as 20%
    perc30(avgdiskreadpersec_last) as 30%,
    perc40(avgdiskreadpersec_last) as 40%,
    perc50(avgdiskreadpersec_last) as 50%,
    perc60(avgdiskreadpersec_last) as 60%,
    perc70(avgdiskreadpersec_last) as 70%,
    perc80(avgdiskreadpersec_last) as 80%,
    perc90(avgdiskreadpersec_last) as 90%

The transpose version looks like this...

    | transpose
    | rename row1 as time_Seconds, column as Percent
