I want to create a visualization where buckets must be created with range or a value(0-5, 5-10, 10-15).  
This value is not available in a field but should be derived from difference between 2 fields.

Hey @Karthik2411, you can use a [Scripted Field](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/scripted-fields.html) to calculate the difference, and then use this in a range aggregation:
