It will be really grate if you can add a custom names for legends like for titles to have a field for every data in order to add a custom name not like now. When I'm trying to add in a chart counted row (for example row name priority ) in a legend is written "count of priority" - I don't want this name I want to put for example a custom name "cases priority".

RE: custom legend
As someone mentioned this can be accomplished by using the rename for this visual feature, as long as you aren't working on a bilingual report since this hard codes the value for that visual!And since all our reports must be bilingual I'm out of luck until this is implemented.
RE: custom legend
This really needs to be implemented!
RE: custom legend
I figured out a workaround for the issue. You can group data in a column under a name of your choosing. In my case, I had a column whose values were 1 and 3, which for readability sake I wanted to show as "open" or "closed". In the legend options select "New Group". I was able to group 1 under "open" and 3 under "closed", and use the resulting measure as the legend.
It even works when using DirectQuery which was preventing me from easily making a new measure using a Switch function.
RE: custom legend
I completely agree, this needs implementing!
RE: custom legend
I would like to do the same, especially helpful measures are binary and the legend shows 1 and 0. The graphs show the correct counts but the legend needs to be changed to something other than 0 or 1. Please make this an option.
RE: custom legend
Excellent suggestion. Also the ability to modify the indent of the legend would be a handy feature.
RE: custom legend
I would like to see my legend name changes based on my selection in the slicer. We can change the value in a measure based on selection in the slicer by using SWITCH function. But the legend name is just the name of the measure... I want it to be the name of the value I choose...
RE: custom legend
FYI this can be done by right-clicking and renaming a field once it has been placed in one of the visual's buckets.
RE: custom legend
Great option. I am fully agree on this option.
RE: custom legend
I would also like to be able to name the legend item based on a field value so the legend could change based on the selected filter.
