I want to change the text in the legend on the right side (attach pic)
how can I do it?
The text is based on the Series Properties.
Right-click on the Series you want to change on the Chart
itself.
Select Series Properties.
Select Legend.
You can change the text in Custom legend text:
You will need to do this for each series in your Chart.
Good luck!

I using multiple instances of chart. Is there a way to drag legend or series from one chart to another and plot it?
In Tableau I created an Area chart. I have managed to display legend for the measure values but cannot legend one for the grey line (additional measure in Rows) as I have built a dual axis chart.
Could some one guide me how this could be done. Apologies if the question is unclear. Can provide more details if need be.
If you're on a worksheet then
Select Analysis > Legends > Color Legend.
Select Worksheet > Show Cards > Reset Cards.
Right-click in the space below the Marks card and select Legends >
Color Legend.
If you have dual axis, ensure transparency is 100% on the first pill else the colors in legend will not show up.
EDIT:
In case you have already done that, try using the All marks card (the top one), put Measure Names on the color shelf
I have a bar char report that I created that contains three measure names: 1) Complete 2) Opted In 3) Completion rate. How can I display the measure name below the bar chart similar to the screen shot below from SSRS report that I created. I tried looking for options with tableau environment, but was not successful. Thanks.
The standard color legend will show all three items however, it would look more like:
Note that the standard color legend only shows the color, not the bar versus line. If you need to replace the standard legend with a custom one as you are showing, you can add an image to your dashboard which looks exactly as you desire.
Is there a way to display color legend on the top left side of a chart .
I have 4 charts in a tableau dashboard and if i display all the legends for all the 4 charts on the bottom it looks busy so I want to include the legends in the charts.
Please help me on this with details steps.
What you want is to make the "legend" a floating object instead of the default tiled object.
To achieve this; You can hold down the Shift key, then drag the legend using the left mouse button while still holding down the Shift key. Drop the legend wherever you wish on the dashboard. Make sure you only release the Shift key after you have dropped the legend at your desired destination.
Warning: Depending on the size of the dashboard you selected, floating objects move around when end users view your dashboard on a device with different screen resolution. To avoid this you can use the "Exactly" size option and define a size range which suits your needs.
To include legends on top left Side of the chart.
Follow steps here as under:
Step1:
Select legends, Right Click on legends top part and select floating and place inside the chart on the top part below heading of Graph as :

Output will look like as

In Tableau, I have a dual-axis bar chart of some data with their margins of error. I am using Gantt bars for the error data, and I want to overlay the error bars on top of the original data. My problem is that I can't figure out how to adjust the placement of the Gantt bars so that they are centered over the top of the original bars, with the error value displayed both above and below the bar.
I am pretty sure I need to create a Calculated Field but am new to Tableau and coding and don't really know how to go about this.
You can do this without the use of Calculated Fields as follows:
Create a Bar Chart with the original data
Duplicate the Bar Chart by Ctrl-Clicking the measure pill in the Rows shelf
You should get 2 charts one above the other now, select one of the charts from the Marks dialog, and change it to Gnatt Bar
Drag error to the Size button of the Gnatt Bar and also to the Color button
Now click the one of the pills in the row shelf and select Dual Axis
Right click the second Axis and select synchronize Axis
