Pivot Table vs. Histogram Chart vs. Frequency Formula

Pivot Table

One of Excel’s most powerful and useful features is pivot tables. A pivot table can be used to create good-looking reports for enormous data sets with relatively little effort. This article includes a step-by-step explanation with sample data, as well as an introduction of Pivot Tables and their benefits.

Histogram Chart

A histogram is a column chart that displays data in terms of frequency. You need two sorts of data to make a histogram in Excel: the data you want to analyse and the bin numbers that reflect the intervals you want to measure the frequency by. The data must be organised in two columns on the spreadsheet. The following information must be included in these columns:

Frequency Formula

The FREQUENCY function returns a vertical array of integers after calculating how often values occur within a range of values. Use FREQUENCY, for example, to count the number of test scores that fall inside certain limits. FREQUENCY must be entered as an array formula because it returns an array.
