7. Customize any additional options and then click Close.

2006-5-25  The legend in my chart has about 8 items and I cannot get them to split into two columns. The legend is subsequently very tall and has to go at the bottom of the chart as company standard so is making the chart look unprofessional. Can anybody help?

Charts that you copy and paste between MS Office apps are generally editable so you won’t have any trouble. Select the chart you want to change the legend for. When a chart is selected, the Chart Tools tab becomes active. If you have space constraints, you may be able to reduce the size of the chart by clearing the Show the legend without overlapping the chart check box. Show or hide a data table Click the chart of a line chart, area chart, column chart, or bar chart in which you want to show or hide a data table. Feb 04, 2014 The on-object chart controls in Excel allow you to quickly filter out data at the chart level, and filtering data here will only affect the chart—not the data. Select the chart, then click the Filter icon to expose the filter pane. From here, you can filter both series and categories directly in the chart. I am using Excel 2016 and am having difficult with the on-object chart customization buttons. They do not show up when I select my graph. If they do, it is very sporadic. Please advise.

You can easily remove the data labels by clicking the Data Labels button in the Labels group on the Chart Tools Layout tab and selecting None from the drop-down menu.
