Personally I think what I wrote back in 2018 https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/5570#issuecomment-410773587 above still stands. Conceptually, in Superset as in many other BI tools, semantically and conceptually, a "Metric" IS an **aggregate expression**. The very concept of dimensions everything that relates to "dimensionality", like allowing for pivoting dimensions, applying filters and "slice and dicing" depends on this simple assumption. In cases where your table or view somehow happens to be at the exact grain needed for visualization, then superfluous/unecessary aggregation isn't really an issue. This conceptual model being more flexible and evolutive, it would allow you to bring new dimensions to this dataset and unlock more of that slicing/dicing . -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
