Frequency charts with non-numeric data
If I have a column of non-numeric data (for example 500 different fields,
each field stating the color of a car ie green, green,green, red,red, silver etc) how do I draw a graph showing the frequency of each colour type? For example green 200, red 100, white 100, silver 100 (preferably with the % for each). The countif function will work combined with the graph wizard, but his becomes very labourius for many categories (or colours). For those familiar with statistics, this is a pareto. There is a pareto function in the Data Analysis Add ins but it does not appear to work with non-numeric data. All suggestions gratefully received -- rakbhat |
