| rename <your boolean field name> as boolean_field # rename to generic name (because the field has only two generic values, no sanitization needed.) After this, you can use the generic field name to illustrate how the two pie charts differ. (Make sure to illustrate your generic test code. On my side, I generate a generic data set with the following simulator | makeresults count=50 # this part simulates data
| eval boolean_field = if((random() % 5 == 0 OR random() % 3 ==0), "false", "true") Sample data look like this _time boolean_field 2021-06-07 09:34:58 false 2021-06-07 09:34:58 false 2021-06-07 09:34:58 false 2021-06-07 09:34:58 false 2021-06-07 09:34:58 true 2021-06-07 09:34:58 true 2021-06-07 09:34:58 false 2021-06-07 09:34:58 true 2021-06-07 09:34:58 false 2021-06-07 09:34:58 false 2021-06-07 09:34:58 false 2021-06-07 09:34:58 false 2021-06-07 09:34:58 false 2021-06-07 09:34:58 true 2021-06-07 09:34:58 true 2021-06-07 09:34:58 true 2021-06-07 09:34:58 true 2021-06-07 09:34:58 false 2021-06-07 09:34:58 false ... As expected, a simple piechart will show true and false But if I rename my values using | eval boolean_field = if(boolean_field == "true", "foo", "bar") the piechart shows two values, foo and bar, not a single value. (Unless the input data happen to contain only one of true or false.) This can be corroborated by examining the "Statistics" tab under the search box. boolean_field count bar 20 foo 30
