Can’t remove aggregation in Interface chart

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to create a line chart in Interface Designer that shows interest rates over time. My table structure is simple:

  • Date (date field)

  • Rate (percentage field)

  • Type (single select)

In the chart settings:

  • I use Date for the X-axis,

  • Rate for the Y-axis,

  • And I apply a filter so that only records with a certain value in the Type field appear.

However, I noticed that Airtable automatically applies an aggregation (e.g., average, sum, etc.) to the Y-axis values, and I can’t find a way to set it to “none.”

Since each date in my table corresponds to exactly one record (no duplicates), I’d like the chart to simply plot the rate as-is, without aggregation.

Is there a way to disable aggregation or make the chart use raw values for each record instead of aggregating them?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, sum would work too! :) Sum or average would be your 2 best choices here!

Hope this helps!

Are you saying that you only have one rate record for each distinct date? If so — if you only have one record for each date — you can use the “Average” aggregator, because if you average just one value, you will get that exact value.

Hey ​@amanda_chp,

I should plot this out, but if your table has only one record per date couldn’t you just keep Sum? E.g. sum of 2% is still 2%, right?

Completely different matter, but would love to have you join our Airtable Hackathon! Make sure to sign up!!

That works! Thank you so much for the help, not sure why I didn’t think of that before. Really appreciate your quick response!
