No option for what? The technique Luke described does what it sounds like
you're asking.

Duh... I had even used a Custom Trendline name earlier. My memory is not
what it used to be.

I was frustrated with trying to enter custom names for data series legend
entries without renaming the series itself. There seems to be no option
for
this.

Go to Chart - Add Trendline. Click the Options tab. You can then input a
custom name for your trendline.
Or if you've already added it, double click on line, go to Options tab.

Is there a way to edit the legend text for a trendline?

Or is the only option to:

1. delete the tendline legend entry
2. create a "dummy" data series to add the legend item
3. remove the marker and line from the "dummy" series, so only the
title
remains.
