I am having alot of trouble entering info for class. I have to do frequency
dist, and histogram, percent polys, etc. I don't know how to enter the info
correct, it asks for abin range, I don't know what that is? How do you know
the midpoint? Is it really this difficult or am I missing something?

Bin ranges are the groups into which the frequency distribution is divided.
Perhaps this is a good place to start your research:

Enter the data in a column. Enter the bins in another column.

This page tells a bit about Excel's histograms:
