   **Is your feature request related to a problem?**
   The "Show summary" checkbox (the `show_totals` control in the Table chart's 
Customize tab) only computes the **sum** of each metric column. For metrics 
where a sum isn't a meaningful summary (e.g. rates, scores, durations, or 
counts sampled per row), a sum can be misleading or just not what the viewer 
wants.
   
   **Describe the solution you'd like**
   Let "Show summary" support alternative aggregations — at minimum **average** 
and **median** — instead of being hardcoded to sum. This could be a dropdown 
next to (or replacing) the current checkbox, e.g. "Show summary: [None / Sum / 
Average / Median]".
   
   **Describe alternatives you've considered**
   Workaround today is to add a second metric with an AVG/MEDIAN SQL 
aggregation and hide/label it manually, which is clunky and doesn't work well 
with `Aggregate` query mode metrics that are already pre-aggregated.
   
   **Additional context**
   Affects `plugin-chart-table`, `plugin-chart-ag-grid-table`, and any chart 
using the shared `showTotalsControlSetItem` (e.g. `plugin-chart-handlebars`).
