Input Range: Bin Frequency

The document provides instructions for creating a histogram from a sample data set using the Analysis Toolpack and Chart Wizard in Excel, showing how to generate a frequency output from the data and then use that to create a column chart or scatter plot displaying the histogram. It also includes an example using the FREQUENCY function to create a histogram with the frequencies displayed on the y-axis rather than counts.

From the Histogram Dialog Box, use your number series as the input range,
leave bins empty and select an output range.

This will generate an output range consisting of Bins and Frequency. Select Frequency
the entire output range including headers and then use the Chart Wizard to
create a simple column chart to display your histogram. OR, an XY scatter 4.5
with a smoothed line shows a nice curve.

Subject: [EXCEL-G] Histograms with frequency on y-axis
Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2000 13:35:54 -0800

Dear list,

I am having some trouble creating a frequency histogram. My data looks


something like this:

1
2
1
3
3
1
2
1
3 4 5 6 2
4

I have successfully created a histogram, but the y-axis units is in actual


occurrence (so, for example, 4's frequency would be "1" on the y-axis). I
to either:
1) change the y-axis units to express frequency (so for example, 2s frequ
would be .3 (3/10) rather than 3)--is there any way to do this after the
histogram is created?
2) re-make the graphs so that the y-axis is expressed as percentages

Any suggestions. Thanks in advance.
