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

Excel tip:

Make a quick copy of a worksheet

Hold down the Ctrl key, then click and drag on a sheet tab to make a copy of that sheet. Though this process usefully copies the formats of the original sheet, note that any Range Names you have on the original sheet will be duplicated too.

To make a copy of a worksheet's contents and formats without duplicating range names: (1) Ensure that you have a blank worksheet to paste to. (2) On the sheet to copy, click on the sheet selection square to the left of Column A's heading to select the whole sheet. (2) Copy the whole sheet. (3) Paste to the blank worksheet.
