Now, check the Analysis ToolPak option and then click OK. Look for the combo box at the bottom and click Manage Excel Add-ins and Go button. Go to Excel options and then choose Add-ins. This add-in is great to add new analysis features for Excel spreadsheets, under the Data Analysis button in the menu making possible to run analysis and generate new charts for statistics and other useful applications including: Anova: Single Factor, Anova: Two-Factor with Replication, Anova: Two-Factor, Without Replication, Correlation, Covariance, Descriptive Statistics, Exponential Smoothing, F-Test Two Sample for Variance, Fourier Analysis, Histogram, Moving Average, Random Number Generation, Rank and Percents, Regression, Sampling, t-Test: Paired Two Sample for Means.
There you have it: a simple way to create a histogram in Excel.In order to create a Histogram in Excel we will need to install an add-in named Analysis Toolpak.Īnalysis ToolPak is an add-in for Microsoft Excel that is available in Microsoft Excel 2010. Analysis ToolPak VBA is another variant that can be used with Macros, while the Analysis ToolPak is for interactive use. You can also add percentages to the bars by creating a % of total column and charting that instead of the count: For example, I like to remove the y-axis. You can dress the chart up in a number of ways. Now select cells A:25 through C35 (everything you see here) and create a clustered column chart.Īnd there you have it. Let’s add a label above the data and we are ready to create our histogram. Now simply press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to make this an array formula and Excel does its magic! The first step is to select cells C26 through C35 and type F2 on Windows or CTRL-U on a Mac to enter edit mode:
Now we use the Excel magic known as an array formula. In cell C:26 enter, =FREQUENCY(B2:B21,B26:B35) and press enter. Now that we have our data and our table, we will use the Frequency function to create the data for our histogram chart. Notice that the label for Bins is to the left and not above this is to let Excel know that Bins is an axis and not a data set when we create the graph later. Let’s assume the data is already a percentage and we want the x-axis to represent 10% increments from 10 to 100.
I'm sure there are many ways accomplish this task, and this is one approach that uses the frequency function and an array-table. The original question on asked how to create a histogram in Excel with the x-axis as the percent distribution. I recently came across a question on regarding a histogram and decided to create this guide to remind myself and perhaps help others. I’ve had the need to create a histogram in Excel on occasion and every time I’m forced to relearn the steps.
