Abstract
A method displays a graphical user interface for a data visualization application. The user interface includes a schema information region that includes fields from a database. A user specifies a first aggregation using the interface. The first aggregation groups by a first set of fields and specifies an aggregated output field. The user also specifies a second aggregation. The second aggregation references the first aggregation and groups by a second set of fields. The set may include the aggregated output field. The second set is different from the first set. The method builds a visual specification based on the first and second aggregations. The method may retrieve tuples of data from the database using database queries generated from the visual specification, where each tuple includes data calculated based on the second aggregation. The method may display a data visualization, including the data calculated based on the second aggregation.
