Hi!

Creating simple Pie Visualization, which shows the SUM of field X, and split slices by TERMS of field Y.  
(Field X is a number, and Field Y is a keyword).

My question is, can I manipulate existing Slices and make a new\existing slice to be the result of Subtraction of 2 other existing slices?

For example : I want to show/generate as a slice, the difference between the RED and PINK slices

I tried using the JSON input, but from what I found, it only support value aggregation, basically manipulating a specific field's value.

No, that is not possible. Please comment on [SUM of multiple fields · Issue #11427 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/11427) to describe your use case.
