Default How do I put text in a chart legend box?

I know how to make a pie chart, but instead of numbers in the legend, I want
what the color represents. How do I do that?

Hi,

The information displayed in the legend comes from the information
provided in the Categories range. Right click chart and pick Source Data.
On the series tab enter the range containing the description in the
Category Label: box.

Cheers
Andy
