Have you got the legend created on your sheet?

If you turn the legend into a picture, you can insert the picture into the
footer as a graphic image.

Select range of cells that hold the legend.

SHIFT + Edit>Copy Picture>As shown on screen and Bitmap is best.

Open Paint or some other graphics editor and paste the image.

Save as.

When adding the footer browse to the file and OK
