Question
How do I add a title to a chart in Excel?
Answer
It's a good idea to add descriptive titles to your chart, so that readers don't have to guess what the chart is about. You can give a title to the chart itself, as well as to the chart axes, which measure and describe the chart data. This chart has two axes. On the left side is the vertical axis (also known as the value or y axis). This axis is the scale of numbers by which you can interpret the column heights. The months of the year at the bottom are on the horizontal axis (also known as the category or x axis).
A quick way to add chart titles is to click the chart to select it and then go to the Design tab and locate Quick Layout in the Chart Layouts group. Each option shows different layouts that change the way chart elements are laid out.
