Does aggregate mean using (sum, average, count etc) or does it mean something else? Please give an example on how to aggregate two types of data.

I'm using Splunk Search and Reporting (search query only)

Thank you! If i have two different sources is it possible to aggregate those two togther and let's say find the average for both of them ? Or i have to find the average of each of them seperatly.
