difference between OLAP and aggregate functions.

OLAP functions are similar to aggregate functions in that they:
Operate on groups of rows (like the GROUP BY clause)
Can filter groups using QUALIFY (like the HAVING clause)

OLAP functions are unlike aggregate functions because they:
Return a data value for each qualifying row - not group.
May not be performed within subqueries.
