Is it possible to modify the data labels for the legend in a chart? I've got a chart that is based on 5 different "Sum of @" summaries.

The legend shows up as
"Sum of @Same Day"
"Sum of @Dur 1-2 Days"
"Sum of @Dur 3-5 Days"
"Sum of @Dur 5-10 Days"
etc.

The user only needs to see
"Same Day"
"1-2 Days"
"3-5 Days"
"5-10 Days"
etc.

Can't modify the items themselves because they are summaries and, as far as I know, you can't rename a summary. Anyone know of a way to modify these labels?

The only way I found was to put a text box over what was in there already. You may need to double-click on the chart to be able to position the graph carefully to where the text label covers the odl key's text.

I've been playing with this and it just doesn't look clean. Thanks for the tip though Ryan...
