I am plotting two sets of data, when I put legend in each separate graph, then use show, it give me the combined graph with the legend on the right of the graph. After that, when I export the graph in any format it does not show the legend. Could any one help me on how to show the legend in the upper right corner of the graph generated from the show command, and to make it appear in the exported graphic. Best regardsenter image description here

    $\begingroup$ Here it's considered helpful to show your own efforts and share code in a well formatted form instead of images or links to external files, so we can quickly Copy&Paste your code, test it, and see the problem you are facing. Crucially, you are not sharing the code you use to export the plot, but even code to create simple plots is welcome, as it save us from typing examples and because sometimes problems come from small typo. Please help us to help you and edit your question accordingly. This question in Meta could be useful. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Please edit your question to clarify whether "show the legend in the upper right corner of the graph" means inside or outside of the Frame. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ 
pos = Placed[#, Scaled@{0.9, 0.75}] &; 
a = ListPlot[Table[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2 \[Pi], \[Pi]/18}], Frame -> True, 
   PlotMarkers -> {Style["+", Blue], 14}, PlotLegends -> pos@{"a"}];
b = ListPlot[Table[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2 \[Pi], \[Pi]/18}], Frame -> True, 
   PlotMarkers -> {Style["O", Red], 10}, PlotLegends -> pos@{"a"}];
Show[a, b]

enter image description here

The {0.9,0.75} in Placed are coordinates of the legend in relative units
