Need help with using a weight variabele

Hello,

 

I have surveydata and wants to use a weight in my tables and visualisations.

 

For example, every man has a weight of 0,8 and every woman has a weight of 1,2 . So I want in my barchart not the unweighted 50%-50%, but the weighted 40%-60%.

 

Has anyone an idea how I can do this?

 

Thanks for thinking about it!

    I think I have found the solution: setting the weight variable as data values.
