Hi 

Sorry this has probably been resolved but have Covid fog and can't find it....I've created a pivot chart and it's showing the legend in reverse order to the pivot table, how do i fix this?

 

Thanks

Hi Justine,

I suspect that you created a Bar chart. By default that puts the first series closet to the origin and works it's way up (i.e. bottom-up). Right-click on the vertical axis and select Format Axis...

Towards the bottom of the Axis Options tab you'll see a checkbox "Categories in reverse order". Enable it and the series order will change from bottom-up to top-down.

I tried that but it didn't work it just made the values on the left go the opposite way not the legend?

Can't really imagine how this chart was created. Can you upload the file?
