Get the percentage of a count from a table where column is categorical

I have a table on my dashboard which contains the count of times it appears in the entire table 

page click %
page1 2  
page2 1  
page3 5  
page4 7  

 

I want to calculate the percentage based off the total amount of pages in my table. I am able to get the click column by simply doing `count(page)` on my click column, but I am having a hard time getting the percentage. This would be each click value for everypage divided by total clicks. 

 

My logic says count(page)/sum(count(page)) but i am getting a aggregate nesting error

Try this:

count(clicks)/count(total clicks)

count(total pages) would work also as denominator, doesn't need to be numeric.
