    Hi Hawkeye,

      

    As we can see from the picture, the blue square part is the title of the axis. Did you mean you want to change the name of the part in the red square? If so, more than one value (name) would be a group. So we can change its name into "group A" or something else.

    Did you mean this?

I'm sorry, but I still don't quite get how to edit the actual axis labels (the stuff in the red square) & not the axis title (the stuff in the blue square). That is, how do I change "Group A" or "Literature" in this grapic to read as "AABB", "CCDD" etc.? I already know how to change "Brand", which is the axis title, & is in the blue square to something else. Pl advise.

AnonymousRight Click on the relevant Field (under the 'Fields panel') and scroll down to 'New Group' you should then be able to Group and re-name things; groups can consist of a single entry so you can create a group just for the purpose of renaming something on your axis.

    Hi...Does this still work? I've tried this, but it only changes the name in the Legend. I'm doing for only one entry. Thank you for any advice.
