Use a Number Report visualization when you want to see the total for a measure or the count for a categorical column.

Option: Script

For Number Report, you can define

function __format_label(label) {
  var newlabel = label;
  // TODO: apply format to the label
  return newlabel;
}

and

function __format_value(value) {
  var newvalue = value;
  // TODO: apply format to the value
  return newvalue;
}

function in the Script code area to format label and value of the number report.

Here is an example that bold the label and makes the value color to blue:

function __format_label(label) {
    return "<b style='color:red'>" + label + "</b>";
}

function __format_value(value) {
    return "<span style='color:blue'>" + value+"</span>";
}
