Hi,

Is it possible to format the metric (e.g. count) in the table viz the same way you can apply the color field format to a index pattern?

I want the count value to be a certain color depending on the size of the count so it is easier to spot data that needs to be prioritized.

It doesn't seem to be possible in a table vis using the standard table or TSVB table. However, I was able to do this using the TSVB "Top N" visualization. For example, in a table showing the Top N carriers by flight delays:

Thanks for all the issues filed in Kibana in general!
