When counting up a categorical variable as a bar chart, I’d like to show the values as a text label above each bar. I can make a separate dataset using Arquero, but is it possible to access the result of a group transform from within a text mark?

Always learning,

One approach is

      text: d => d.length,

I figured this out by first trying d => console.log(d)

Try moving the text channel declaration to the output of the group transform rather than the input. Here is a suggestion:
