Hello,  
I wanted to customize the column name of a table on a dashboard.  
Eventhough I gave the column titel "update\_at", here "per day" came up automatically, which is the time interval of this column. However what I want to show is only "update\_at".

Is there any way to turn off this "automatic" function to show interval setting?

Hi @Mulee

what version of the stack are you using?  
Also, what tool did you use to build the table? Is it Lens?

That is not possible right now.  
You can track this github issue for development progress on that: [[Lens] Custom interval appends "per \<unit\>" post fix to datatable header title · Issue #98054 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/98054)
