Tip #8: Hook up a chart title to a cell.
The chart below is called “Chart Title.” That’s not very helpful, so let’s change that.
Click on the Chart Title.
Type an = sign in the formula bar.
Click the green cell that contains the text, “Week 1”.
Press Enter. Now the chart title is “Week 1“. — that’s so much better.
And from now on, the chart title will always show what’s in the green cell.
Try it out by typing something else in the green cell, and pressing Enter.
