Suppose, we have data like below:

Eid Ename Salary Dept

1.abc 2000 java

2.bbc 3000 .net

3.Krishna 2500 java

Madhu 300

5.Vamshi 3000 mainframes

1.abc 1000 testing

2.bbc 3000 tableau

3.krishna 5000.net

4.Madhu 7000 testing

vanshi 9000 tableau

1 abc 11000 Mainframes

2 bbc 13000testing

3 krishna 15000 java

4 Madhu 17000 .nte

5 vamshi 19000.net

Aggregation: To display aggregate data

Sum/avg salary by each individual employee

Drag ename on column and salary on rows, and we will get the sum (salary) of each and individual employee

Now, change the measure type as Avg

Choose salary option: choose measure types as ‘Avg’

Disaggregation: To display each and every transaction

When we look at the aggregated data in the views above, each bar represents all transactions for a specific employee summed up or averaged into a single value. Now, say, we want to see the individual salary transactions for each employee. We can create a view like that by selecting Analysis > Aggregate Measures.
