Setting the Chart Legend
Legend properties affect the visual display of the chart's legend.
You can change the position of the legend, as well as display a title for the legend, change the background and border colors, and edit the font and format of chart labels.
For a Combination chart, the Legend tab contains one new column named Type. You can select the type for each configured legend (series). For example, Type = Bar for one legend and Type = Line for the other.
To define the chart legend:
- Open the Legend tab of the Edit Chart dialog.
-
In Legend Position, select the position of the data labels in relation to the elements in a chart.
The available options are No Legend, Left, Right, Top, or Bottom.
- In Palette, select the color palette used when displaying the chart view.
-
In the Series table, one row is displayed for each legend specified in the Layout tab.
For each data set:
- In the Label, enter the label that must be displayed for this data series in the chart.
- Select Dual-Y for the data series that must be displayed on the secondary Y axis.
- Click OK to save the chart view settings.
