Format Legend on Graph

[smut]

Hi,

How do i format a legend label on a graph?

Cheers

Right mouse click on the chart and there should be something in your drop down menu called, "Analyzer". This will pop up a new tab where you may be able to fix these labels. Did that help?

By the way, you must be in the preview mode to get this Chart Analyzer option.

Unfortunatly not. I am trying to format the actually description in the legend. There doesn't seem to be an option to adjust these settings.

Well, I created a chart and tried to format the legend label. You just want that label to be edited as you would an Excel chart right? I have been unsuccessful in trying, but if I do figure it out I will be sure to post the way to do it. Sorry

i have changed the group description by right clicking on group header then change group options and use an if then else formula . my problem is that this description reverts when i export it. any help is greatly appreciated

To change the legend labels, I create a formula with a descriptive formula name and plot it on the graph.

For example, let's say that I would want to plot the count of a field named {tableName.myId} and I would want the label "Count of Ids" in my legend.

I would first create a formula named "Count of Ids" and in it I would write Count({tableName.myId}). Then, I would plot that formula in the chart, and the legend label would be "@Count of Ids". It's impossible to get rid of the "@", though.

Hope that helps!

Hi Smut,

I don't use the "built in" legend much. I create my own legends using "Text Boxes" which I can format anyway I want. Then I just place them on the graph.

Nuffsaid.
