# Manipulate Data in the Data Store

> Your software supports aggregations for nested (or hierarchical) data structures for some data stores.

Self-Service Analytics allows you to manipulate the data read from your data store. You can enable distinct counts and Data Sharpening, change the formatting of numeric and time fields, convert appropriate existing data store fields into time fields, and use existing data store fields to create derived fields and custom metrics.

See the following topics:

* [Use Data Sharpening](/simba-embedded-analytics/docs/self-service-analytics/26.3/connect-to-data/sources/data-sharpening-ov)
* [Distinct Counts](/simba-embedded-analytics/docs/self-service-analytics/26.3/connect-to-data/data/fx-aggregate#distinct-counts)
* [Configure Number Formatting - Data Sources](/simba-embedded-analytics/docs/self-service-analytics/26.3/connect-to-data/data/data-number-formatting)
* [Configure Date and Time Formatting - Data Sources](/simba-embedded-analytics/docs/self-service-analytics/26.3/connect-to-data/data/data-number-formatting#configure-date-and-time-formatting-data-sources)
