Editing average line label

I have a stacked bar chart, onto which I've added an average line. I'd like to show the label so people know what the line represents, but is there a way to edit the label? The line has been automatically called 'Average Line 1' whereas I'd prefer it to simply say 'Average'. Is this possible using the built-in average line?

Thanks!

Hi @DaneM123,

 

Is it a line from the Analysis pane? If so, you can double click the title to rename the line.

I noticed that you used Constant Line, instead of Average Line" in order to change the name to "Average."  In an Average Line, the default name is "Average line 1" and you can change it to "Avg" for example, but to make the change show, you'll need to turn "on" the Data lable, and in the "Style" dropdown, select "Name" to just show the name Avg.  To show both name and data label, select "Both."

Well that was embarrassingly obvious - I'd tried right clicking but not double clicking for some reason. Thank you 🙂
