Hi, @pmuthumeena5 

I'm happy to answer your questions. By default, The legend is forbidden after Y-ais has used two measures or one measure and an automatically generated aggregate value. It will appear that we cannot drag the columns to the legend field.

In this case, we can no longer drag any columns onto the legend field:

Or

As shown in the screenshot above, if two measures are used, the legend field is disabled.
