How to Draw a Histogram in Excel 2007


1. Type the word 'Bins' into cell A1.
2. Type the word 'Frequencies' into cell B1.
3. Enter the minimum values for each histogram bucket in column A, under the word 'Bins.' For example, in cell A2 begin with '0.2,' and continue down the column with increasingly large numbers.
4. Enter the number of data items that belong in each given bin in column B, under the word 'Frequencies.' For example, if the first two bins are 0.2 and 0.3, and there are 12 data items that fall between the values 0.2 and 0.3, then type '12' to the right of 0.2 in column B.
5. Select all the data (including the header title) in column B. To select it, left-click on the title, and drag the mouse to the bottom of the list.
6. Click the 'Insert' ribbon.
7. Click the 'Column' button in the Charts section of the Insert ribbon.
8. Click the first icon on the top left of the Column drop-down. It looks like a flat bar graph.
