I was wondering if I missed something or if you guys have it somewhere else but I'm currently using the Numbers Bar Study to look at Orderflow. However, I want it a specific way.

So I want my orderflow to show me the top 20% of vol. done for the specific bar period I've set it in (let's say 5min) then tell me whether or not it was bid or ask that dominated that specific price point.

I do not want it to compare to the total vol. of the day in general or any other periodicity other than the one the chart is currently set on.

The closest one that I read in your documentation and have checked out looked at the total volume given at that price for the day and then told me which dominated that specific price (bid or ask) as long as it's within 20% of the total volume.

So again, I'm not looking for something that is more focused on comparing bid and ask volumes at specific price levels within a single bar (or candlestick) rather than aggregating this data across the entire bar to find the top 20% of total volume.

I want a setting that compares each bid and ask volume to the total volume within a specific time period (like a 5-minute period) and then identifies whether the top 20% of volume within that period is dominated by bids or asks.

So again do you guys have a function like that or am I missing it somewhere?

There is not a Numbers Bars coloring option that compares the Diagonal Difference to the TOTAL volume of a bar.

If you look through the various options, you will see what is available. You can view these at the following link:
Numbers Bars: Color Settings and Logic for Numbers Bars

A couple of the items that are closest to what you are asking for are the following:
