Hi,

If you only had 1 data field, select the Sum of X button on the Pivot Table
and type the name you want. This will cause a problem if the name is an
exact duplicate of a field name, but no problem add a space at the end.
Alternately you can modify the name any way you want so that it is just not
an exact match.

If you have more than one data field select the field name in any row or
column area where it is displayed and use the same technique as above. If
the name repeats because of a particular grouping, all copyies will change.

If this helps, please click the Yes button.

I've been trying to alter the wording of the legend text in my line graphs,
but can't figure it out. My data table has headings such as "Year",
"Communication Score", and "Professional Score". When I run the pivot table
tool, Excel automatically adds the words "Sum of" to the titles of
"Communication Score" and "Professional Score". The result is "Sum of
Communication Score" and "Sum of Professional Score". How can I simply
remove the words "Sum of" to this legend wording? I've used Excel for years
and am using Excel 2007.
