Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): OriginPro 2020 (64-bit) 9.7.0.188

Operating System: Win 10


Hello guys, i made a simple plot with three data points. How do i construct a legend with another column? E.g., the data points X are in Col B and the y-points in Col C, but the text for the legend is in Col A and the legend should look like this: Col A Row 1 labels (X1,Y1), Col A Row 2 labels (X2,Y2) etc? Thanks!

You can right click on the legend and select Legend-> Point by Point... Set Label From to Custom, then in the menu select Col(A). See if it works.

Hello James,
thank you for your answer. This is the type of legend I was looking for! For other users who may have the same problem: Befor the setting can be changed in the legend menu, the data point has to be indexed (see https://www.originlab.com/doc/Origin-Help/PlotColor-DatasetControl#Indexing)
