Within Analytics, navigate to My Reports, then select your Dashboard.
Within the dashboard, click the settings icon in the upper right corner of the Look, then click Edit.
The Edit Look dialogue box will open. In the left pane, locate the table and field you want to add to your Look.

Click Run.
The new field will be shown in the Visualization section (you may need to expand the Visualization menu to view), which previews how your edited Look will appear when completed.
Depending on which visualization options you've chosen, you may have additional options to rename or format the new column's appearance.
For example, click Edit at the top right within Table Visualization.
Click the Series tab to change your new column's text formatting, alignment, color, or label.
