Legend and text entry
Hi,
If you are asking how to put the values of the datapoints into the Legend -
Excel does not do this by default. But you can do it by creating a custom
name for each of the data points.
Suppose you have the names of the data points in A1:A5 and the values you
are plotting in B1:B5. Insert a column between A:B and enter the formula
=A1&" - "&C1
Copy this down and then plot columns B:C. The legend will display as the
name of the data point and its value.
Regarding adding the Total to the Legend - You could add entry in B6 which
reads
="Total: "&SUM(C1:C5)
You would enter nothing in C6 and then you would plot B1:C6.
