When creating histograms using the "Data Analysis feature, Excel creates bar

I agree with Harlan that if you are going to be doing a lot of graphing or
statistics, you are better off with a dedicated program. However, if you
right click on one of the bars, under Format Data Series, Options, you can
set the gap width to 0.
