By default, the legend will show up below your chart.
You can however change the legend's position in the Legend position section:
If the addition of the legend escapes the available space for your chart in the analysis sheet, you can use the Overlay legend option. Instead of decreasing the chart's size, the legend will now overlapp the axis or the chart area itself to fit its assigned position.
To format your legend, Legend Formatting offers you several options: You can alter the default font, size, highlighting, color, background color and the border color.
