Is there a way to show the Chart symbol in the upper left hand corner of the chart in very large, but perhaps 80% transparent font? Or, perhaps in the chart background?

You can use the Text Display for Study study. -Set 'Use Text for Non-Zero Value to Yes. -Manually enter the symbol in the 'Non-Zero Value Text' field.

Thanks.. I followed your directions and I end up with a light blue vertical rectangle in upper left hand corner of chart. The text I enter into "enter non zero value text," is not appearing. I tried adjusting the Subgraphs to no avail. The text I tried entering was "ES" Appears I'm missing something?
