I'm trying to have markdown which will display only single value from one of the index. I tried using metric but it doesn't have the expected results. I did some SO search and found some thing create our own visuals

I was wondering if anybody had done it so far or any progress has been made after that or any custom plugin for this

Can you do this inside of Canvas? You'll have more control over how it all looks that way.
