How to modify query to tabulate error codes and percent failure?

I am trying to create a query that returns a table showing counts of different error codes and percentage of transactions that are failing (error != 0) for each service. 

service 0 3100 2000 1200 % Failure
Foo 1000 12 0 0 1.2%
Bar 100 0 3 2 5.0%

 

My query which returns the above table is: 

index=my_index | where error=0 OR error!=0 | chart count by service, error | eval "% Failure"  = round(('3100'+'2000'+'1200')/('3100'+'2000'+'1200'+'0'),2)."%"

 

How can I modify this query so that I don't need to hardcode each error code into the last part of the query, as error codes may vary?

index=my_index error=*
| chart count by service, error
| addtotals fieldname="event_total"
| eval "% Failure"=round((event_total-'0')/(event_total)*100, 2)."%"
