6. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the data indicating the user input that selects the first element and the second element comprises receiving data indicating user interactions with a touchscreen display presenting the visualization, the user interactions occurring at regions of the touchscreen display where the first element and the second element are presented in the chart or graph having the elements representing the different portions of the data set according to values of the first attribute or metric.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising causing presentation of the visualization with multiple user interface elements that each correspond to a different attribute or metric indicated by the data set;

wherein receiving data indicating a selection of the second attribute or metric indicated by the data set comprises receiving data indicating a user interaction with a particular user interface element of the multiple user interface elements that each correspond to a different attribute or metric indicated by the data set.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the visualization data for the first chart or graph and the second chart or graph is provided in response to determining that the user interaction includes dragging one of the multiple user interface elements to a display area in which the visualization is presented.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the data indicating a selection of the second attribute or metric indicated by the data set comprises receiving data indicating a user interaction with a user interface element corresponding to the second attribute or metric; and

wherein the method further comprises:

while the user interaction with the user interface element is maintained, causing the first chart or graph and the second chart or graph to be presented;

determining that the user interaction with the user interface element has ended; and

in response to determining that the user interaction with the user interface element has ended, causing the first chart or graph and the second chart or graph to be presented.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first chart or graph and the second chart or graph are a same type of chart or graph as the graph or chart having the elements representing the different portions of the data set according to values of the first attribute or metric.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first chart or graph and the second chart or graph are a different type of chart or graph than the graph or chart having the elements representing the different portions of the data set according to values of the first attribute or metric.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data set is a data set in a database system.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein providing the visualization data for the first chart or graph and the second chart or graph causes the first chart or graph and the second chart or graph to be presented concurrently on a user interface.

14. A system comprising:

one or more computers; and

one or more computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:

providing, by the one or more computers, visualization data for a visualization of a data set, wherein the visualization comprises a graph or chart having elements representing different portions of the data set organized according to values of a first attribute or metric;

receiving, by the one or more computers, data indicating user input that selects (i) a first element, from among the elements of the chart or graph, that indicates a measure of a first portion of the data set for which a value for the first attribute or metric is in a first set or range of values and (ii) a second element, from among the elements of the chart or graph, that indicates a measure of a second portion of the data set for which a value for the first attribute or metric is in a second range or set of values;

after receiving the user input that selects the first element that corresponds to the first portion of the data set and the second element that corresponds to the second portion of the data set, receiving, by the one or more computers, data indicating a selection by a user of a second attribute or metric indicated by the data set; and

in response to receiving the data indicating the selection of the second attribute or metric, providing, by the one or more computers, visualization data for (i) a first chart or graph of the first portion of the data set, wherein the first chart or graph subdivides the first portion of the data set according to values for the second attribute or metric and (ii) a second chart or graph of the second portion of the data set, wherein the second chart or graph subdivides the second portion of the data set according to values for the second attribute or metric.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the different elements representing portions of the data set represent aggregations of data corresponding to different ranges of values for the first attribute or metric.

16. The system of claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise:

in response to receiving the data indicating the selection of the second attribute or metric:

causing the graph or chart having the elements representing the different portions of the data set to be removed from display in a user interface; and

causing the first chart or graph and the second chart or graph to be displayed in the user interface.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the operations further comprise:

in response to receiving the user input that deselects the second attribute or metric:

causing the first chart or graph and the second chart or graph to be removed from display in the user interface; and

causing the graph or chart having the elements representing the different portions of the data set to be displayed in the user interface.

18. The system of claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise updating the visualization to integrate the first chart or graph and the second chart or graph into a presentation of the visualization.

19. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:

providing, by the one or more computers, visualization data for a visualization of a data set, wherein the visualization comprises a graph or chart having elements representing different portions of the data set organized according to values of a first attribute or metric;

receiving, by the one or more computers, data indicating user input that selects (i) a first element, from among the elements of the chart or graph, that indicates a measure of a first portion of the data set for which a value for the first attribute or metric is in a first set or range of values and (ii) a second element, from among the elements of the chart or graph, that indicates a measure of a second portion of the data set for which a value for the first attribute or metric is in a second range or set of values;
