Hi there

I am looking to insert subscripted greek symbols into legend in an Excel plot.

For example, I have a plot of Ctheta vs X. In legend, it appears as "Ctheta". But I want theta to appear as symbol and also subscripted. "C" should appear as it is next to theta symbol. I got part of it working, not fully. I know by using Symbol font, I can get symbols. But in legend, it becomes a problem. "C" also gets converted into its corresponding symbol. Also, "theta" part alone couldn't be subscripted in the legend.

I need this to submit quite urgently and your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I don't think you can use rich text formatting in a legend. However, you can in a cell, which you can copy then hold down Shift and choose Edit|Paste Picture Link. You can move that picture onto your chart.

One way to get what you want in a cell is to type Cq, select the q with your mouse, right click, choose Format Cells, select Symbol and Subscript and click OK.
