Default Graphing frequency of a column of numbers

I'm having difficulty with this, I wonder if someone could help me with it?

I have a column of 80 numbers and I'm trying to graph out how many of each
number there are. The numbers will change over time. I've included an
abbreviated list below to illustrate.

Hi Ray,

One way;
With your numbers in column A.
Put zero in B1 and drag down holding down control as far as is needed.
Then in C1 put =COUNTIF(A$1:A$80,B1) and drag down as far as
the end of column B.
Aternatively use =COUNTIF(A:A,B1) for more flexibility.

This will show the frequency of each number used and zero
for any number not used in column A.

If you don't want the unused numbers to show you could try a similar
approach using advanced filter first.

Thank you Gus, that's a good starting point for me. I'll play around with it
and see if it's what I want.

Ray

Check out help on the FREQUENCY function and/or Histograms

Analysis Toolpak add-in must be loaded to use the Histogram under ToolsData
Analysis.
