Superset's explorer is used to explore multidimensional datasets, and semantically metrics in Superset are strictly defined aggregate expressions. That is the case for metric definitions in most BI tools. The dimensions / metric mental model is widely accepted and generally easy to reason about. Doing a sum of a single row is valid, personally fail to see why people see this as a problem. If you happen to add other columns/dimensions to your dataset, things will still work. There are complex implications here but if you'd like to say "I don't want Superset to not aggregate this" through the UI and happen to have duplicates in your dataset for whatever reason, or simply by check that box by mistake, there's a whole lot of implications, like dealing with high volume data and/or duplicates. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
