1. A method of displaying data associated with data marks in data visualizations, comprising:
at a computing device having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs configured for execution by the one or more processors:
generating and displaying a data visualization in a data visualization user interface, wherein the data visualization includes a plurality of visual data marks representing data from a data source:
detecting a first user input to select a visual data mark of the plurality of visual data marks that is displayed on the data visualization; and
in response to detecting the first user input to select the visual data mark that is displayed on the data visualization:
identifying a first aggregated data value for the selected visual data mark, corresponding to a first data field in the data source:
retrieving a first disaggregated set of data rows corresponding to the first aggregated data value, from a first table, in the data source, containing the first data field; and
displaying, in the data visualization user interface, a plurality of first data rows from the first disaggregated set of data rows.
