frequency
 

I am trying to find the freqency for C2:C62. the bins are 49.99,
59.99,69.99,79.99,100 in G7...G11
I did this: =FREQUENCY(C2:C62,G7:G11) the answer for the first bin is
right, but it repeates it for all the other bins. what formula should I put
in H8,h9,h10 and h11?

FREQUENCY is one of the few functions that always returns an array. You need
to enter the formula as an array formula. Select H7:H12 (yes, H12, since
FREQUENCY returns one more value than the number of bins), type the formula
then hold down [Ctrl] and [Shift] keys before pressing [Enter].

Select the range (H8:H11)
enter the formula =FREQUENCY(C2:C62,G7:G11)
and now FOR THE TRICKY bit: do NOT press enter or the green check make but
hold down SHIFT and CONTROL and then tap the ENTER key
This is an array formula; with the SHIFT+CTRL+ENTER, Excel will make the
formula display in Formula Bar as {=FREQUENCY(C2:C62,G7:G11)}
You do not type the braces {} but Excel adds them
