2. Go to the Insert tab on the Ribbon.
3. In the Charts group, click on Insert Statistic Chart.
4. Choose Histogram from the drop-down menu.
Step 3: Customize Your Histogram
Once the histogram is created, you can customize it. Click on the chart, and use the Chart Tools to change the design, layout, and format. You can adjust the bin width to change how your data is grouped.
Step 4: Analyze Your Data
With your histogram ready, you can now analyze the data distribution. Look for patterns, trends, and outliers that can inform your analysis.
