What is the difference between sum({field1}, [${visualDimensions}, field2, field3}] and sumOver({field1}, [{field2, field3}], POST_AGG_FILTER)?

The usage of the two seems to be very similar, so it is confusing.

In the case of the sumOver() function used with POST_AGG_FILTER, the filter applied to the field on the Analyze screen is not applied,
and in the case of the sum() function used with ${visualDimensions}, is the filter applied to the field on the Analyze screen applied?

Please let me know if there are any other differences.

I don’t think there’s any difference between those two.

sumOver with POST_AGG_FILTER came first.
sum(measure,[group_field_A]) came later but it does the same thing.
