Now, let’s see how to create a Histogram in Excel. In Excel, you can create a histogram using the Data Analysis ToolPak or using a built-in histogram chart. A histogram, unlike a bar chart, shows no gaps between the bars.Ī histogram chart in Excel is primarily used for plotting the frequency distribution of a data set.

A histogram is a graphical chart that shows the frequency distribution of discrete or continuous data.
