I wanted to know if there is a way to choose a second bucket when there is no data in the first one, like an 'if the first bucket doesn't have data, then look in the second bucket and combine them to obtain a final set of data for a vizualisation.' I hope this clarifies my issue.

I don’t think there is out of the box but you could run both aggregations and then choose which results to display on the front end.
