Error when creating legend

Hi everyone
I am trying to print my legend on one of my figures as follows
legend('Signal', sprintf('Amplitude = %0.04d', 9.5971e-5 ), sprintf('RMS = %0.004d', 1.2894e-5 )
This prints my amplitude value but completely ignores the RMS value. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Ran in:
does it give you a warning? It looks like you only have 2 things plotted.
For example here I try to legend 2 things but there is only 1 plot so MATLAB gives warning.
figure;
plot(1:3);
legend('test','test2')
Warning: Ignoring extra legend entries.

If the RMS line is in the axes, then its legend entry should show up:
t = (1:500)*1e-8;
signal = randn(1,numel(t));
[amp,idx] = max(abs(signal));
signal_rms = rms(signal);
figure();
plot(t,signal);
hold on
plot(t(idx),signal(idx),'o');
yline(signal_rms);
legend('Signal', sprintf('Amplitude = %0.04d', amp ), sprintf('RMS = %0.004d', signal_rms ));
If the RMS line is is not in the axes, then its legend entry will not show up and you'll get a warning about extra legend entries:
figure();
plot(t,signal);
hold on
plot(t(idx),signal(idx),'o');
% yline(signal_rms);
legend('Signal', sprintf('Amplitude = %0.04d', amp ), sprintf('RMS = %0.004d', signal_rms ));
Warning: Ignoring extra legend entries.
My guess is the RMS line is not in the axes, perhaps due to a misplaced hold on.

Plotting a black line along the y=RMSValue level or along the x axis (y=0) is a good workaround to get the RMS to show up in the legend, if you prefer not to use text().

It only prints as many legend items as there are things that you plotted. Since you only plotted two things, the blue curve and the red circles, only legends for those two items will show up no matter how many strings you feed into legend(). Look at it this way, if it DID plot some line/symbol combination for RMS, what would it use? A green triangle? Why? There is no green triangle plotted nor any other things other than the blue curve and the red circle. Since it can't figure out what to use, it just doesn't use those extra legend arguments.
If you want some other text on there, you can use the text() function. Like
str = sprintf('RMS = %0.9f', 1.2894e-5 )
text(1, -1, str);

Maybe you meant to do this:
data = randn(1,10);
[amp,idx] = max(data);
plot(data);
hold on
plot(idx,data(idx),'o');
legend('Signal', sprintf('Amplitude = %0.04d\nRMS = %0.004d', amp, rms(data)))
