How To Create A Histogram in Excel (& change the bin size)

September 3, 2020 Excel ChartsShow more

An Excel histogram chart is very easy to make. However it's not always clear when to use a histogram chart or how to adjust it to your needs. Generally, histogram charts are often confused with bar charts. They're very different though. A histogram groups continuous data into ranges, also called bins. The height of each bar shows how many fall into each bin. A histogram is the most commonly used graph to show frequency distributions for data with large value ranges.

In this video I'll show you how you can easily setup a histogram chart in Excel from scratch. We'll also cover how we can customize the bins and format the chart professionally.
