Remove label for selected filter option from visualization?

I am trying to create a visual that will show children's levels of school readiness on each of 4 readiness goals plus overall readiness.  These goals are assessed 3x a year but so far we only have the first data point so that's why only one column is shown.  We collect data on children in three age groups, but are only interested in seeing data on one age group which is called "Kindergarten-Eligible."  I have set up a filter called "Age Category" to only display this age group in the visualization.

 

Here is my filter and fields setup:

And here is the resulting visual (the one in the box but they are all set up similarly):

Question #1: How can I remove the "Kindergarten eligible" label underneath the stacked bar?  It isn't the X axis title or the data label, and I don't see anything else I can rename or turn off.  The "Kindergarten eligible" label is from the selected option under the first filter in the list, "Age Category."  I want it to apply this filter but not label it.

 

Question #2:  I was hoping to have readiness levels for all 4 goals plus overall readiness on one visual.  Instead I am having to make 5 separate visuals and just do some tinkering to make it LOOK like one visual.  Surely I must be doing something wrong in my setup, but I can't for the life of me figure it out.  Is there a more efficient way to set this up so that it's one visual? If anyone could point me to a tutorial or similar forum posts, I'd be very grateful.  Most examples I can find in the forum involve time data and setting up calendars - I have neither of those.  

 

I am still pretty new to PowerBI and still learning. Thank you all for any help/advice.

@ViethM  , for 1st one you can switch of x-axis itself and check , if needed

 

For 2nd check, if you can get 4 visual using small multiples

Thank you so much!  I hadn't used small multiples because I didn't realize you could change the formatting to make it display the bars all in one row as opposed to the grid of 2 rows and 2 columns.  This one thing is a game changer for me!

Hi! @ViethM 

For your 1st question there would be a setting under visulaization pane where you can turn of the label in x-axis.
And I'm really not clear about the issue in 2nd question. Can you share your pbix and explain it a bit?

For Power BI trainings or support dm or reach out to me on LinkedIn.
If my response has successfully addressed your question or concern, I kindly request that you mark this post as resolved. Additionally, if you found my assistance helpful, a thumbs-up would be greatly appreciated.
