I am working with a bar chart where I average seven values on one chart.  I do not want a legend, but instead want to label the actual bars with the name of each variable and the value on the bar vertically.  Unfortunately, the variable name comes out: "avg view_dbo_nameetcetc.blahblah"  Too long to look clean on the chart.  Is there a way in Crystal XI to rename the data label to something shorter?

This suggestion is good. Just ran into the same problem with a stacked bar chart. I enabled the Legend, edited the labels, and then hid the Legend again, and the Bar Chart uses the new labels. Thanks!
