how do i change chart legend entry in Excel?
 

Now it says "series 1" or similar and I can't figure out how to change it to
the description that exists in a particular cell.

Click once on the chart (activate it). The standard toolbar should show an
option called "Chart". Click on "Chart" - "Source Data". In the "Source
Data" dialog box go to the "Series" tab. You can reference the cell that you
want for the legend description via the "Name" input area. Or, you can type
the name into that area to manually input it.
