how do you use the histogram function?i don't really understand bins. all i
have in my data are income groups e.g 0-10k, 11-20k etc and the frequency of
each one. can i make a histogram with this data?

To use the Histogram tool, the data range is the raw data on a worksheet,
and the bins are values you enter in the worksheet to specify the upper
limits for each interval of the frequency distribution. The Histogram tool
creates the frequency distribution and a Column chart.

You already have a frequency distribution, so you could create a Column
chart to display the results.
