Default insert calculated value in series name

I am using macros to make charts.
One of the lines in the chart is a statistical smoothing curve.
The number of points included in the smoothing is either 4, 6, 12, or 18.
The chart automatically labels the series as "PI Smoothing". I want it to
read, "PI Smoothing (6 Point)" or 4, 12, or 18 as appropriate.

Please help.
TIA

Papa -

You can use a cell reference for the series name: choose Source Data from the Chart
menu, click on the Series tab, select a series, and clear the Name box and select a
cell. Now write a formula in the target cell that concatenates the cells you need to
build the label.
