Hi,
i am using top query and hence i am getting count and percentages in a tabular format. i took out the count field using the - field option but when i try to chart, it shows nothing in the cart. Basically screen is empty. What is the best way to get a chart based on percentages. Below is the query..

.... | top limit=5000 xxxx | fields - count

So the results is like this. Also in the chart if i don't want to have data4. Can i do that? Any help is appreciated.

xxxx percent
data1 10
data2 30
data3 40
data4 20

Thanks Bob. Actually i did that last night and it worked. Thanks for your answer.
Another question, not related to this - i have a query where i am getting dc of sessionIDs and did a sort in descending order for the to 10. Some times i see only 9 but not 10 sometimes it is 8 and when i increase sort for top 11 then it is adding one more. Do you know what could be the reason for this?

i think when i used chart command, i am able to get the chart. Below is the query. If i want to exclude one data point can i do that? not the field but one of the data point.

| top limit=5000 xxxx | fields - count | chart avg(percent) as Percentage by xxxx
