How to Edit the Way a Field Name is Displayed in a Legend

I am making a stacked bar combo chart and would like to rename the field names shown in the legend to be more user friendly. I don’t want to rename the actual field, because what those fields represent will be very confusing for future use. I’m really hoping there is a better way to edit the way they are displayed beyond creating a calculated field… Someone please give me good news!

Hello Jrvish,

As fas as i know, Unfortunately, you cannot directly rename field names in the legend without modifying the underlying field yet . I can think of only 2 options:

Your Options

1. Use calculated fields (recommended approach) Create calculated fields with user-friendly names that reference your original fields. For example:

  • Original field: cust_acq_rt ( example)

  • Calculated field named “Customer Acquisition Rate”: {cust_acq_rt}

This way, you can use the calculated fields in your chart, and the legend will display the friendly names you’ve chosen.

2. Rename the actual field in your dataset

However, i think you don’t prefer this approach.

Thank you.

Cheers,

Deep
