When you create a chart, the legend appears by default, but you can hide the legend or change its location after you create the chart.

You can also show a data table for a line chart, area chart, column chart, or bar chart. A data table displays the values that are presented in the chart in a grid at the bottom of the chart. A data table can also include the legend keys.
