Default Frequency for Histograms in Excel

I am using Excel 2002. There is a problem with the frequency function, which
is used for histograms. The frequency counts for some (not all) bins is
incorrect. The case that I learned of in another posting involves 101 data
values: 0, 10, and values in between that are created by using an increment
of 0.1. The frequency value for the first bin is (correctly) 11, and most of
the other bins have the correct frequency (10). However, the bin
representing the interval from 1 to 2 has a frequency of 9, which the bin
representing the interval from 4 to 5 has a frequency of 11! I have also
used the "Better Histrogram" downloadable file for this same problem, but
apparently the "Better Histogram" procedure starts with the Frequency
function, as it ends up with a histogram with the same results. Any
suggestions for correctly calculating all bin frequencies?
