Hi there
I am trying to edit the legend entries on a chart and I'm using the Select Data Source as I just want to change it on the actual chart, not on the Data Source, however the buttons are grayed out.
The Data Source worksheet is in Table format and is NOT protected and I have looked everywhere for a solution but cannot find one.
Can anyone help?

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
It would appear that it is a pivot chart, in which case you cannot edit the data source. You either create a new non-pivot chart, or alter the pivot table to only show what you want in the chart.
