Chart legends are constructed using Cell Columns, which contain a single descriptive value each, such as a colour or data item. By default, a legend will contain two columns: one containing symbols that represent either a series or data point, and another displaying a corresponding value.
The two default legend cell columns.
Columns can be added to display additional values. These columns will be populated with as many rows as there are series in the chart or data points in the series, depending on how the chart is structured.

Making any changes to a legend cell column will remove all default columns altogether. As such, to use the default columns, you will need to manually recreate them.
Cell columns can be viewed and configured from the Cell Columns panel when managing a legend.
