Hence, in bar charts the order of the bars is unimportant and we can change the "red" bar with the "green" bar. This is reflected by the fact that in bar charts the x-axis conveys categories (e.g., "red", "blue", "green"), whereas in histograms the x-axis conveys the numerical intervals. However, they are different in a fundamental way: Bar charts are meant for displaying categorical measurements, while histograms are meant for displaying numerical measurements. Bar Chart Background: Histograms and bar charts might appear similar, because in both cases the bar heights denote frequency (or percentage). Then, you will need to create a bar chart that reads from this table, and fix it to create a legal histogram (explanation below). Using the Data Analysis add-in (which is usually available with ordinary installation and only requires enabling it in the Tools>Add-ins menu): the Histogram function here will only create the frequency table (the name "Histogram" is misleading!).You will still need to do some fixing to get a legal histogram (explanation below). Now simply click the chart wizard to create the matching chart. Then, right-click the column area and "Group and Show Detail > Group" will create the intervals.
Create a pivot table, with the measurement of interest in the Column area, and Count of that measurement (or any measurement) in the Data area.Two ways to generate a histogram in Excel are: The idea is to bucket the numerical measurement into intervals, and then to display the frequency (or percentage) of records in each interval. Histograms are very useful charts for displaying the distribution of a numerical measurement.
