SUMMARY

Histograms can be created in Microsoft Excel using the "Insert" menu by selecting "Columns" and utilizing the matrix function {=FREQUENCY()}. While some users report difficulty finding a dedicated histogram option in Excel, it is confirmed that histograms can be constructed without additional add-ins. The process involves using the built-in chart tools effectively to visualize data distributions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Microsoft Excel 2016 or later

  • Explore advanced charting techniques in Microsoft Excel
  • Learn about Excel add-ins for enhanced data visualization
  • Investigate alternative software for histogram creation, such as Google Sheets
USEFUL FOR

Data analysts, Excel users, and anyone interested in visualizing data distributions through histograms in Microsoft Excel.

Is it possible to draw histograms in Microsoft Excel? I see all charts of icons in the Excel tool bar but no histogram.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
click on "other charts"
 
You can use Insert -> Columns for histograms. Together with the matrix function {=frequency()} (with contr, alt, enter) you can work out some decent statistics.
 
"other charts" or "columns' is of no help. But I read on the net, histogram is not available with Excel as it is, you have to install some add-in.
Thanks for trying to help.
