You can change the layout of your chart. This means that you can format, move and even add
components of a chart. Perform the following steps to change the chart layout:

group under the Design tab of the Chart Tools tab. A drop-down list appears.
Step 2 Select the Above Chart option under
Chart Title to add a title at the top center 1
of your chart.
Step 3 Using the Axis Titles command under the 2
Chart Layouts group, you can add titles to
both, x-axis and y-axis. Remember, x-axis
is the horizontal axis and y-axis is the
vertical axis.
Step 4 The Legend command under the Chart Layouts group is used to move the legend of
the chart to left, right, top or bottom. It is also used to hide the legend in case there is
only one series of data.
