Blog post from Elastic
The blog post by Wylie Conlon discusses methods for displaying data as percentages in Kibana visualizations, which is crucial for effective numeric comparisons, especially when dealing with varying sample sizes. The post provides examples using Kibana's sample flights and ecommerce datasets to demonstrate how percentages can be utilized in different visualizations such as pie charts, single number metrics, tables, and time series with the Time Series Visual Builder (TSVB). For instance, it explains how to calculate the percentage of on-time flights using the Filter Ratio in TSVB and track changes in sales week over week using the Serial Difference aggregation. The article emphasizes configuring the appropriate data sets and visualization types to derive meaningful insights, suggesting that users can further explore Kibana's Canvas for more advanced percentage calculations and dashboard creation.
