So my first bin will be 0 to 10, I input the upper value of the bin, 10, in cell B2. While creating histogram chart, Data Analysis TookPak needs only the upper value of the bin. Th next bin is greater than 10 and less than or equal to 20, so I input value 20 in cell B3. Now I select these two cells and drag down up to cell B11. That places the 10 upper values of the bins. Bins are created Now let’s show you how to use the Data Analysis ToolPak to make a histogram using this data. In the Data tab, and in the Analysis group of commands, you will get a command named Data Analysis.
If you don’t see the command there, then the ToolPak is not activated. Installing Analysis ToolPak Let me show you how to add Data Analysis Toolpak. Click on the File tab, then Options, and click on the Add-ins tab on the left side of the Excel Options dialog box.
