# Percentile aggregations
|
|
|
|
Percentile is the percentage of the data that's at or below a certain threshold value.
|
|
|
|
The `percentile` metric is a multi-value metric aggregation that lets you find outliers in your data or figure out the distribution of your data.
|
|
|
|
Like the `cardinality` metric, the `percentile` metric is also approximate.
|
|
|
|
The following example calculates the percentile in relation to the `taxful_total_price` field:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
GET opensearch_dashboards_sample_data_ecommerce/_search
|
|
{
|
|
"size": 0,
|
|
"aggs": {
|
|
"percentile_taxful_total_price": {
|
|
"percentiles": {
|
|
"field": "taxful_total_price"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
{% include copy-curl.html %}
|
|
|
|
#### Example response
