My Chart is not showing the legend!

If you have problems regarding your chart legend please make sure you have highlighted all relevant cells AND the "show chart legend" switch is active.

Please note that depending on the type of diagram, a legend becomes superfluous, as the data is already described directly via the axis labeling or labels on the individual columns.

Activate Chart Legend

You can edit the chart in the App Designer in the "Preview your App" view. Click the pencil icon to open the editor for the desired chart.

Enable and disable the legend using the "Show chart legend" switch. A green switch indicates that the function is activated.

1. Open your app in the App Designer.
2. Make sure you are in the "App preview" view.
3. Open the chart editor.
4. Turn the "Show chart legend" on.

While adding a chart please make sure to highlight the output fields and the corresponding captions.

To learn how to correctly add a chart to your app, read this article: Add and edit charts | Colors and options for diagrams.

Legend in graphs with several series

The legend switch also controls the display of the series labels in diagrams representing data from several series. For example, in a chart where you display the sales forecast directly with the actual sales for the respective months.
