Hi all,

I want to create something like this:

I'm using the "Metric" option but I want to know if is possible to edit the label format.

Thanks!

hi @javiertec10,

what do you mean with "changing the format"?

Would you like to change the font, size, color, that sort of thing?

Hi Thomas!

Yes! that is what I need. I have this type now:

And I want to change the format because, in the visualize options, I can reduce the font size but when I'm triying to reduce the label, the result is this one:

![imagen](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/7/176f21f05aa4597ae42935c8e5d706903d24ecb8.png)

So, I want to put font size 20 and reduce the label to not cut the numbers.

Thanks a lot for your help!

ah I see. There's not a way for the end-user to modify this in the UI. This needs to be a code-change I expect. You could fork Kibana and change the related CSS.

But this looks somewhat like a bug too. Could you open an issue in github? [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new)
