Column Titles Appearing in Metric Widgets
I was recently building a dashboard and found that column titles were appearing in the metric widgets I was creating. Usually this widget would never such column titles. It was whatever was selected in the reference sheet. Does anyone know how to fix this? I do not want column titles showing up in these widgets. Example below:
Column 2
Jane Doe
Column 3
20

My metrics widgets have always shown the column title. You should be able to click on the text portion of it in the widget and either delete it or change it though. That's what I usually end up doing.

Thanks for responding Paul. I realized what I was doing wrong. Pretty silly error on my part. Thanks again!

I am having this issue as well - I managed to make a replica of the swanky PPM dashboard that was recently shared. The first one I made used a metric widget to pull in the project name, it only pulled the name, keeping the same formatting as the cell and its pointy corners which looked good.
I made a copy of the dashboard and went to connect that widget to a different project title, but this time it's insisting on including the column header. I can delete the text, but not the box, which makes my title very skinny.
Does anyone know a way to have the metric widget only pull the cell selected, and not the column header?

@Nat It will show as skinny when editing the widget, but it has always adjusted for me when I saved the dashboard so that it had that portion removed and the portion I kept filled up the widget in its place. How do you have your widget formatted?

Thank you for your reply, Paul.
I checked and the original is doing what you described, but the copy still has the empty column header field. Obviously I deleted the text, and I've reduced the text as much as possible (8) which gave me a tiny bit more height on the Project Name cell.
I have it set as stacked, label top - as that's the easiest way to pretend it was meant to look that way!

@Nat Ah. I usually put label bottom when I am getting rid of it then resize the widget so that the label isn't seen when I forget to delete it. Haha.
