Adding Attributes to Legend

Question

Original User: AmerMid

Hello, I am trying to find out if there is a way to add the sum of an attribute field to the legend. For example, I am wanting to show the sum of some acreage next to the symbol and name within the legend. Is there a simple way to do this?

If it is a summarize operation, I would suggest doing a dissolve based on a field in the attribute table and then sum the areas. Then you can do what Jim Cousins‌ is recommending above.

Add the acreage sum to the attribute table, and then set the symbology to Categories >> Unique Values, many fields >> and choose the original field and the acreage field. Then the name and acreage will show in the legend.
Best Regards,
Jim
