Legend placement

Hi,


Is it possible to have the legend in a chart completely outside the chart area or have it as an element of its own next to the chart?

Not tecnically. You could create 2 identical charts, remove the legend on one and format the other one so that only the legend is showing.

As Luke said there is no way to natively do what you want,

It is a shame you can't un-dock the Legend (MS I hope your listening ! )


Using Lukes Technique has the disadvantage that if you have to add/delete series from the chart you have to edit both Charts


You can however make the Chart are of a normal chart huge and set the background color to None = Transparent

Then make the plot area small and move the Plot area and Legend are where ever you require independently

The biggest downside to this is that it makes it more difficult to get to any cells that are behind the chart area
