Add series names to legend after the chart has been created

Hi,

You can edit the series name in the source data window.
Or selecting the series and then editing the series formula in the
formula bar.
Or by linking to a cell reference, then you simply edit the cell.

Andy, thanks for the reply. I do not think I explained it very well.
I have a chart that is complete, and in the legend it just shows the little
colour squares. Is there another way of adding the series names to the legend
other than editing the source data.

Hi,

The text displayed in the legend is directly related to the series
names. So if you right click the chart and pick Source Data... on the
series tab you can change the contents of the Series name textbox.

Cheers
Andy
