Changing the legend aggregation name in a chart

How can I change the aggregation name. The legend name alone is not a problem. But when the legend is summed up, for example, "Sum of ..." always appears on the chart. How can I remove or change "Sum of" so that my desired legend text can be displayed on a chart without the aggregation name.

@Partycamel , when you drag a column in visualization, you can double click in their name in the visualization pane and rename

Hi @Partycamel ,

 

It seems that the column you use to drag to visual is a new column. You can use measure to do it.

Like this:

There is no choice to choose the Don't summarize. 

But if you use measure.

Measure = SUM('Table'[Column])

You can rename the measure to what you want.

 

Hope this helps you.

Hi,

Write a measure using the SUM function.  You can rename the measure to whatever you want.

Hi amitchandak,

thank you for your help. However, your solution works only partially. I can change the name now (sometimes the solutions are too simple ;-)), but in the visualization window the old name still does not appear (sum of ...).
