does anyone know if I can get outliers from a histogram, or do I need to do a
scatter plot? I am using excel (most recent version) for mac.

A histogram is used to summarize frequency of occurrence for a single
variable. It is one way to identify outliers. Use the Histogram analysis
tool, or use the array-entered FREQUENCY function (or COUNTIF) as data for a
Column chart type.

A scatter plot is used to display the relationship between two variables. It
can also be used to identify outliers. Use an XY (Scatter) chart type.
