23. Row aggregation

You can customize the aggregation method for your hierarchical axis categories. By default, charts and cards use the sum of parent category contributions. However, you can switch this to alternative options like average, minimum, maximum, or first, depending on your analytical needs. In table mode, you can set the aggregation method for the total row.

Navigate to the Data section of the toolbar and click the Aggregation option.
