How to view percentages in column chart instead of total values without calculating percentages in search?

Hi,

I'm using a column visualization and the stack mode "100%". It would be nice to have the percentages in the chart instead of total values. Is this possible without calculating the percentages in the search?

Calculating that in search isn't hard though:

index=_internal | timechart count by sourcetype | addtotals fieldname=_Total | foreach * [eval <<FIELD>> = '<<FIELD>>' * 100 / _Total] | fields - _Total

You can move the addtotals | foreach | fields into a macro and reuse it.
