Hi is there an easy (or any) way to change the formatting of the count field at the metric visualisation?  
I get a float with two decimals but i simply need the same number without the decimals.

I know that i can change the number field style at my indexpattern. But this does not apply for the count calculation of datasets (I guess).

Could someone help me on this?

In Advanced Settings, you have :

> format:number:defaultPattern (Default: 0,0.[000])  
> Default numeral format for the "number" format

You can change it with your own format and it'll be applied to all numbers (not only for metric). I didn't found a way to only apply a format to a specific chart.

Hope it helps you 🙂
