# Change the Label for the Row Count Measure

When you add a row count measure, it appears as “Count of Rows” by default. You can change this label to whatever you want.

Here’s the default label.

![The default label for a count measure is "Count of Rows."](https://developer.salesforce.com/media/bi_dev_guide_xmd/bi_xmd_count_rows_default_label.png)

You can specify a new label in the `derivedMeasures` section of the XMD. Because you’re counting rows and not a particular field, use `*` as the field name.

```nolang
"derivedMeasures": [{
  "field": "*",
  "label": "Data Points"
}],
```

This change yields the following results.
