 Aggregate functions let you reference grand totals and row totals in your table calculations. Unlike [row functions](/references/table-calculation-functions/row-functions) and [pivot functions](/references/table-calculation-functions/pivot-functions) which compile to SQL window functions, aggregate functions generate separate CTEs that compute totals from the underlying data.
 
 This means `total()` correctly handles all metric types — including `count_distinct` and `average` — by re-running the metric's native aggregation rather than naively summing grouped values.

 Pivot functions let you work with values across pivot columns in your results table. When you pivot a dimension in Lightdash, the values of that dimension become separate columns — pivot functions give you a way to reference and aggregate across those columns.
