Charts

How do I name the different legends within the graph that I am making?
Thanks
Fiona

RE: Charts

Hi Fiona,

Thanks for the question

The legends are attached or linked to the spreadsheet. So to change the names on the legend, you will need to rename the titles on your original spreadsheet.

Hope that helps

RE: Charts

Hi Tracey

Thanks for your reply, however I think I may not of made myself clear so I will try to give some further information. My spreadsheet is made up of donations (totals) of which there are 11 and all of these fall under it's own title. However, when I highlight the titles and the totals to form my graph excel does not transfer the titles. Not sure if this makes my question clearer. I want to be able to see the value of each title and have the title under the axis at the bottom of the graph.

Hope you may be able to guide me further.
Thanks
Fiona

Hi Fiona,

Sorry for the delay I have been out training for a few days and returned today. Would you like to attach the chart/data you are refering to so I can help you

Hi Tracey

After some playing I have managed to name them but I think I will ask the question when I attend the next course in a couple of weeks. Thanks for your offer I may take it up in the future!
Regards
Fiona
