Want help to display trendline in Legend in Excel

[Henriksen]

I have a scatter chart with sparce data. So to make the lines more clear, I have added trend lines. I did this a few weeks ago and I got the whole thing formatted the way I want. Now I have added a new data series to the chart and when I tried to add a trendline it shows up in the legend. But the data series is already there! So now I have four data series with lines in the legend, along with the new data series as well as the trendline separately. I thought I might be able to fix this in the "Format data series" dialog box, but when the trendline is in place, I can't select this popup menu. What am I doing wrong that I can't get the legend to display just the data series and not the trendline?

Go to the legend itself and select the legend that you want to go away. Right click and (I believe) you have the option to hide it. The trendline will still be plotted, but it won't show in the legend.

I had already tried that and it did not work. When I remove the item from the legend, it is removed from the graph. Opps, I read reply in the other group he explains that I have to select both the line and the text in the legend and that did the trick.
