It will be really grate if you can add a custom names for legends like for titles to have a field for every data in order to add a custom name not like now. When I'm trying to add in a chart counted row (for example row name priority ) in a legend is written "count of priority" - I don't want this name I want to put for example a custom name "cases priority".

RE: custom legend

I would like to do the same, especially helpful measures are binary and the legend shows 1 and 0. The graphs show the correct counts but the legend needs to be changed to something other than 0 or 1. Please make this an option.

RE: custom legend

Excellent suggestion. Also the ability to modify the indent of the legend would be a handy feature.

RE: custom legend

I would like to see my legend name changes based on my selection in the slicer. We can change the value in a measure based on selection in the slicer by using SWITCH function. But the legend name is just the name of the measure... I want it to be the name of the value I choose...

RE: custom legend

FYI this can be done by right-clicking and renaming a field once it has been placed in one of the visual's buckets.

RE: custom legend

I would also like to be able to name the legend item based on a field value so the legend could change based on the selected filter.

RE: custom legend

It would be really "great" if we could be super careful of homophone usage.

RE: custom legend

Agree, this feature would really clean up the messy default behavior. Please enable a customizable legend.
