In our next blog, we will discuss “how to create a histogram with Data analysis tool?”. Underflow bin– Similarly to overflow bin, If we want to know the number of the salesperson who scored less than 30 (<30) then we can use underflow bin. If we want to highlight score >80 on the chart then we can use Overflow bin. In the case of the histogram, we can change either the bin width or the number of bins. Once we change the number of bins, it will automatically create a chart based on the number of bins. Number of Bins– here we can specify the number of bins. If we put number 10 inside the bin width box, it will create a bin range, which looks like this (11-21,21-31,31-41,51-61 etc.) For example, according to our dataset, it has taken 4 bins, however, we can change the number of bins according to our requirement.
This will be inappropriate ( refer to the screenshot below).Īutomatic-This option will automatically decide the total number of bins. but here we have a name of the sales representatives. Let’s discuss them one by one-īy Category– This will show the name of the categories, which make sense when we are actually dealing with categories like Pen, Pencil, box, eraser etc. These options will help us to customize our histogram chart. Although we can customize the same and much more by following steps-Īfter clicking on this option, we’ll get format Axis pane – From the chart group section, select “Insert statistic chart”īased on our data set, we would be getting the histogram chart as shown in the above screenshot.Īs you may have noticed, the horizontal axis showing some default bins, depending upon the scores in our dataset.Steps to create Histogram chart in Office 2016 and upper version: Suppose we have a dataset of our sales team and their scores out of 100. Ms-office 2016, 2019 or Office 365: This chart type has been inbuilt in the chart group (we will be discussing the same in this blog post). MS Office 2013 or prior version: We can create histogram chart using “Data Analysis tools” or frequency tool( We will be discussing it in our next blog post). There are a couple of ways to create a histogram. we will be able to know, how many scored less than 40, how many scored in between 40 to 80 and more than 80. For example, if we have assigned scores to our sales representatives, on the basis of their sales, then we can create a histogram chart to show how many sales representatives are falling in which score bin e.g. In other words, Histogram is a type of Column chart which shows the range of data. The histogram condenses a data series into an easily interpreted visual by taking many data points and grouping them into logical ranges or bins”. According to Investopedia, “a Histogram is a graphical representation, similar to a bar chart in structure, that organizes a group of data points into user-specified ranges.
