Hi,

The key will display the text you specify as the Name of the series.
Normally the text is held within a cell at the head of each data series.
You can use the Source Data dialog to set the Name of each series,
either as a reference to a cell or text.
Right click chart and pick Source Data...
On the series tab is the place to change the Name.

Cheers
Andy

If the data looks like this;

Col A Col B
Eenie 20
Meenie 12
Miinie 40
Mo 25

Then select both columns, use menu item Insert -> Chart -> Doughnut and
click Finish.
The resulting doughnut chart will show a legend with the label in Col A for
each value.

Right-click the doughnut, select Format Data Series, click the Data Labels
tab, check the 'Category name' box.
That will show the data labels inside the doughnut.

Does this help?
