Hi @gobi_s,

Unfortunately I don't believe there's a way to remove the `count` column currently. At least one metric needs to be provided in a request, and since the data table more or less shows the raw response from Elasticsearch in a tabular format, the metric value will always be included in the response and therefore show up as a column in the table.

If this is a feature you'd like to see, I'd encourage you to [open a feature request on Github](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=Feature_request.md), and we'll get it routed to the appropriate team.
