Problem with Histograms
 

I'm using Excel 2003, and when I try to select Input & Bin ranges using
the click & drag method, it won't select the range I'm trying to cover -
instead picking up columns next to the one I want. I end up having to
manually input the range.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Paul -

I have not had that problem.

I am not able to replicate your problem using Excel 2003 SP2.

It's not something that makes Excel crash though - that might be easier
as then I'd presumably have an error report.

I cannot remember exactly, but I may have seen this behavior on a computer
running Excel 2003 that also had Excel 2007 installed. What is your setup?

XP Pro SP2, Office 2003 SBE.

BTW, if you have Office 2003, is it possible to *just* upgrade the Excel
part of it to 2007 (which you seem to imply from the above)?

The increase in number of columns would be handy for me, as some of my
spreadsheets would be more efficient extended horizontally, rather than
vertically as I am currently forced to.

On amazon.co.uk, a search of Software for "excel 2007 upgrade" shows that
it's available.

Thanks - but that wasn't what I meant.

Can you upgrade *just* the Excel part of Office 2003?

I don't understand what you mean. As I said, when I browse to amazon.co.uk,
select "Software" in the Search drop-down list box, type "excel 2007
upgrade" in the edit box, and click the Go! button, I get

Microsoft Excel 2007 (Upgrade) (PC)

If you don't want Excel 2007, what is it that you do want?
