Hi,
I'm using Kibana 5.6 , and I thought this would be simple enough, but I'm not sure how to accomplish it.
In the Time Series builder I'm looking at data values of Megabytes in my graph. The Data formatter, I can select bytes but what I really need to do is tell it that the field is MB not B. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Tim

Not right now. TSVB only has support for templated values, it doesn't any kind of operation on them. However, there's an [open PR to add math support](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/13681), which would allow you do operations on the values. That would give you the numbers you're looking for. It's marked for 6.0, but I don't think that's right, it's more likely to land in 6.1 or later.
