hello，  
Elastic 6.3.0

Now，We hive a table of Consumption details.(A person has multiple consumption records ).

First ,we want to Calculate a person's total consumption（need to agg）.

Then we want to get all the people who consume more than $500.（It's the total, not the details.）.

So we need to aggregate twice on the basis of calculating a person's total consumption amount.

Like the sql:  
select count(1)  
from (select \*  
from (select mobile\_nbr, sum(trans\_amt) total\_trans\_amt  
from activity\_detail  
group by mobile\_nbr) t  
where t.total\_trans\_amt \> 500) tt

Excuse me, do es support this query?

best wish to you  
thanks

It sounds like you're looking for the [bucket selector aggregation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.3/search-aggregations-pipeline-bucket-selector-aggregation.html). The docs have an example that's very similar to what you're trying to do.

@abdon  
hello，thanks for your answer.  
I had tried the bucket selector aggregation.But the result is the details are not the total.  
I want to get the number of people that is not people's details.  
Can we get the result~

I think you would have to do that client-side: count the number of buckets that the Bucket Selector aggregation returns.
