Editing legends in Numbers - iPhone

Hi! I’m trying to edit chart legends on Numbers and I couldn’t find the way do it. I can’t edit them by tapping on the legend (like the chart title) and it isn’t possible either when I edit the chart references, I always get a “untitled” legend. I’ve allready tryed selecting the data from the row and tapping on the first cell, but it just takes that cell as the first of the data series and puts a color dot at the left that not helps as referece because after the data is selected it disappears.

Many thanks!

Make sure that your table has both header rows and columns turned on and labelled. I just made a test table from my budget workbook, and if i just had both columns (category and amount) as normal columns, I had your issue. But if i turned the category into a header column, and had the first row as header as well, labeling them as "Category" and "Amount". I then got the kind of chart you are trying to get i think.

Recommend checking out the 'Charting Basics' template (available when you clicked the + Create Spreadsheet) to see how the charts and legends there work.
