Hi All,

When I create a simple metric visualization there is a labels shown under the number.  
The label constructed like 'field' + '-' + 'name of metric'.  
I want to have just the field name without adding '-' and 'name of metric'.  
'name of metric' could be eliminated by entering " " (space) in Custom Label field.  
But still the '-' remain.

Any solutions for this issue?

Thanks.!

Instead of a space, just put the label you want to see, and that will override whatever's there.
