Edit/Rename legends in charts

[Anonymous]

I have difficulty in renaming pie chart legend in powerBi.

I want to change the legends PN:10 and PN:9 to Lake1 and Lake2.

Can you please state any  steps/workaround  to achieve this

Hi @Anonymous

Now you can directly edit/rename column name in legend on pie chart in PowerBI desktop (July 2017 version) and service.

Do double click on column name in legend. Then you can rename/edit there.

Hi @Anonymous,

If I understand you correctly, you can firstly add a new calculate column to change the values PN:10 and PN:9 to Lake1 and Lake2 in the table that contains the legend column. Then you can use this new created column as Legend instead on the Pie chart in this scenario. 

The formula below to create the calculate column is for your reference. 

Column = SWITCH ( Table1[Column1], "PN:10", "Lake1", "PN:9", "Lake2", Table1[Column1] )

Note: just replace "Table1[Column1]" with your real table name and column name of your legend column.
