      specifies the data interval

    • Number of bins  is a bin configuration by determining the amount of distribution of data generated by the Excel histogram. For example, a histogram with 5 data distributions will be made, it can be illustrated as follows,

      specifies many data distributions


  3. Specify the Overflow bin and Underflow bin (optional)

    You can configure this section if needed. The overflow bin is used to determine the maximum point of the histogram horizontal axis. The underflow bin is used to determine the minimum point of the histogram horizontal axis.

    For example, a histogram will be created using a data distribution interval of 10 with a horizontal axis of 70-100 from the data above. It can be illustrated as follows,Min max data
