Analysing Data Class 6

Add a Legend to a Chart:

Most charts use some kind of a legend to help readers understand the charted data. Whenever you
create a chart in Excel, a legend for the chart is automatically generated at the same time. A chart
can be missing a legend if it has been manually removed from the chart, but you can retrieve the
missing legend.
This example chart shows a legend explaining the colours for the years 2013, 2014, 2015.

Add a Chart Legend:

1. Click the chart.

2. Click Chart Elements
next to the table.

3. Select the Legend checkbox.

4. The chart now has a visible legend.
