Parameters for chart legends

This topic provides the required parameters for chart legends.

Legend

In multi-series charts, a legend may occupy too much space. In a single-series chart, the chart title should be sufficient.

On the Legend tab of the Chart Options dialog box, select None. Or, if a legend is essential in a multi-series chart, position the legend at the bottom center.

Single and multiple columns

For single and multiple column charts, specify these values on the Options tab of the Format Data Series dialog box.
