Can I get rid of 'Count of' in column name of Matrix visualization

When I create Matrix or Table visualization columns that use COUNT display with really long column headers which dramatically changes the width of the column.  Example if column name is: Date the column label is "Count of Date" which is a huge waste of real estate.  Any solutions?

Create explicit named measures rather than using the default implicit measures created when you drag a field onto a visualization's Value(s) area.

 

The functions that replace the various defaults are SUM(), AVERAGE(), MIN(), MAX(), DISTINCTCOUNT(), COUNT(), STDEV.S() / STDEV.P(), VAR.S() / VAR.P(), and MEDIAN().

 

All of these take a single field as argument.

E.g.

NamedCount =
COUNT( FactTable[FactField] )
