Summary:

In Microsoft Excel, with a chart legend placed to the right of the chart, you are limited to the number of categories that the chart can display vertically. This number is dependent on screen size.

For example, on a Macintosh SE, a legend as it originally appears has only 10 of 21 categories showing. When placed at the bottom of the chart, 20 of the 21 categories appear.

To display more of the categories in the chart, place the chart legend at the top or bottom of the chart.

To place the legend at the bottom of the chart:


 * 1) Select the legend.
 * 2) From the Format menu, choose Legend.
 * 3) Select Bottom and click OK.
