# Among a list of items in legend, how do we hide one of them? The actual visual should still show data for that one item hidden only on the legend

Hi All,

The legend for my visual(stacked bar chart) has items like job1, delay1, job2, delay2, job3, delay3, job4.  
I would like the chart to show data for all of these items but on the legend, show all except delay2, delay3. any thoughts on how i can do this?

Thanks!

This is not possible. I'm curious -- what is your use case for showing data for delay2 and delay3 on the chart but not letting the user understand what that data is, via the legend?
