Hide a reference line label from only the first cell

I am looking for a way to hide the label on the reference line for the first cell only. I am having a running total of cost, and a reference line detailing the cost each month. The labels in the first cell overlap and become unreadable. Attached picture for reference. I can't provide the data, but if absolutely needed to troubleshoot, I might be able to make up some fake data to re-create.

    @Spencer Abbott​ 

    Hi, in this case, you can create a calc:

    Label:
    IF FIRST()<>0 THEN SUM([Sales]) END

    and then you can use it as your reference line field:
