When should you include a legend with your chart?
Most charts use some kind of a legend to help readers understand the charted data. Whenever you create a chart in Excel, a legend for the chart is automatically generated at the same time. A chart can be missing a legend if it has been manually removed from the chart, but you can retrieve the missing legend.
Where do you put the legend on a graph?
The legend of a graph reflects the data displayed in the graph's Y-axis, also called the graph series. This is the data that comes from the columns of the corresponding grid report, and usually represents metrics. A graph legend generally appears as a box to the right or left of your graph.
What is a legend on a line graph?
The legend tells what each line represents. Just like on a map, the legend helps the reader understand what they are looking at.
What is legend in data visualization?
A legend is used to identify data in visualizations by its color, size, or other distinguishing features. Simply connect one or more data visualizations to a legend and they will automatically display a table of symbols and descriptions to help users understand what is being displayed.
