    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."
