How do I make a graph of the frequency names come up in a column?
I have a column of several different names, most of which come up several
times. I would like to make a graph of which names appear the most frequently. I haven't been able to figure out how to do this for the life of me. |

Use either (1) a pivot table or (2) COUNTIF worksheet functions. For a pivot table, enter a label (e.g., Names) as the top cell of the column. Choose Data | Pivot Table ..., and for Layout use Names for both Row and Data entries. (I think the array-entered FREQUENCY worksheet function can be used only to count numerical values.) - Mike www.mikemiddleton.com "gziomek" wrote in message ...

Bummer. I posted yesterday or today to use Frequency for a list of names.
Now where did that post go, so I can fix it? - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com/ _______ "Mike Middleton" wrote in message ... gziomek - Use either (1) a pivot table or (2) COUNTIF worksheet functions.
