You can use the Frequency function within Excel in Microsoft Office 2011 for the Macintosh platform to calculate the frequency of data that lies within a certain range. From that calculation you can then create a graph which shows the frequency distribution of the data you've collected. This is useful for analyzing data from a statistical perspective where you may want to determine the most common outcomes or find outliers that defy the norms.
1.Launch Excel and open the spreadsheet with the data that you want to graph. For example, the data might be contained in column 'A.'
2.Type a new column heading in a blank column to indicate the frequency limits that you want. For example, if you want to show a frequency distribution for every 10 units you would need to define that for Excel. The Frequency function refers to this limit as the 'Bin Array.' In the first cell under the column heading, type the number zero. In the next cell below that, enter the formula: '=B2+10' where 'B2' is the cell where you entered zero and '10' is the number of units you want to show for each section of your frequency distribution. After you type in the formula, but before you press 'Enter' the cell will be highlighted with a bold outline.
Hold your mouse pointer over the lower, right corner of the cell so that it turns into a black cross. Click and drag downward to copy the formula until the last number shows the maximum limit for your frequency distribution. For example, if you are using a percentage scale, you would want to end at '100.' When you're done, press 'Enter.'
3.Enter a column heading for the next column over and label it as 'Frequency Distribution.' In the first blank cell under the heading, type the formula '=Frequency(' and then you will see in the formula bar the labels 'data_array' and 'bin_array.' Click 'data_array' and then click and drag on the spreadsheet to select all of the data cells. In this example it would be the cells in column 'A.' Type a comma which will highlight 'bin_array' in the formula bar. Click and drag to highlight all of the values in for the frequency, in this example they would be in column 'B.' Press 'Enter.'
4.Click and drag to select all the cells in the frequency distribution column, starting with the cell where you entered the formula and ending with the last cell that has a bin array value to the left. Click the mouse at the end of the formula in the formula bar and press 'Command' and 'Enter' on the keyboard. The frequency formula will be copied into all of the cells.
5.Click and drag to highlight the data in the frequency distribution column. Click on the 'Charts' tab and then click 'Column' and choose a '2D Column' chart. The frequency distribution is shown in a column chart. Note, you can choose a line chart, bar graph or XY Scatter chart, if those suit your data presentation better.
