Histograms in EXCEL
Histograms in EXCEL
• Get data set in EXCEL – Variable of interest should be in a given column (say, column D with a header row containing a label)
• Give the set of bin upper points you want for the histogram in another column (say, column G with a header row containing label)
• Place cursor in data area, select Tools -> Data Analysis -> Histogram.
• Fill in the Input Range with the cells of the raw data (say D1:D541 for a dataset with 540 observations and a header label)
• Fill in the Bin Range with the cells giving the upper points of the ranges (say G1:G13 for a histogram with 12 bins and a header label)
• Click on Labels (Don’t if there is no header row with labels)
• Click on New Worksheet Ply and Chart Output (then OK)
• This will give a crude plot that is easy to clean up
➢ Click on Chart and stretch it out
➢ Right click on a bar (where it says FREQUENCY) and select FORMAT DATA SERIES -> OPTIONS and reduce gap width to 0
➢ Can also vary colors by point (technically RANGE) by clicking on that, then Click OK
➢ Further experimentation leads to improvements (e.g. background color by Right clicking on blank part of graph and selecting Format Plot Area
