Default Frequency Formula

Barrie -

Maybe you entered FREQUENCY in cells D2:D9.

Instead, if you select cells D3:D9 (or D3:D10) before array-entering the
FREQUENCY function, the counts will be aligned with the upper bound of each
interval shown in column C.

Using frequency, I am trying to calculate how many students received
grades
within a particular grade range. I've entered the spefici grades for 15
students in column B (B3:B17) and the grade ranges in column C (C3:C9).
When
I use frequency in Column D, it does not calculate it correctly - for
example, it finds 6 students who got a grade between 51 and 60 even though
there are only 4. I used the formula {=FREQUENCY(B3:B17,C3:C9)}. Here is
a
copy of my columns and the results. Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.
