Hi,  
I have data in which user\_id field appears and what i want is to show in a metric on dashboard the number of users, Unique(user\_id appeared only once) and returning users(user\_id appeared more than once).

Thanks in advance

Moving your question to #kibana where you can probably get a better answer.
