When you first create a chart in Sheets, it assumes you want a title for your chart and so includes a placeholder for that title. You can easily change what is shown in the placeholder by following these steps:
- Insert your chart as you normally would.
- Click once on the chart title. (The default chart title is, oddly enough, "Chart title".) Sheets displays a small control for the axis. (See Figure 1.)

- Type the text you want to appear in the title or modify the existing title text.
- Use the controls offered to adjust typeface size or attributes (bold, italic, color, etc.).
- Press Enter or click elsewhere in your spreadsheet.
