Systems and Methods for Using Multiple Aggregation Levels in a Single Data Visualization

A computer system displays a graphical user interface that includes a data visualization region, a shelf region, and a schema information region. The computer system receives a first user input to place a first dimension data field from the schema information region into the shelf region. In accordance with the first user input, the computer system determines a visualization level of detail that is based on at least the first dimension data field. The computer system receives a second user input to specify a first aggregation. The first aggregation has a custom level of detail that is distinct from the visualization level of detail. The computer system builds a visual specification that includes the visualization and custom levels of detail. The computer system generates a data visualization corresponding to the visual specification and displays the data visualization in the data visualization region.
