Chapter 7: Counting and Summing Techniques 201<br />

Is the Analysis ToolPak installed?<br />

To make sure that the Analysis ToolPak add-in is installed, click the Data tab. If the Ribbon displays<br />

the Data Analysis command in the Analysis group, you’re all set. If not, you’ll need to install<br />

the add-in:<br />

1. Choose File➜Options to display the Excel Options dialog box.<br />

2. Click the Add-ins tab on the left.<br />

3. Select Excel Add-Ins from the Manage drop-down list.<br />

4. Click Go to display the Add-Ins dialog box.<br />

5. Place a check mark next to Analysis ToolPak.<br />

6. Click OK.<br />

Note: In the Add-Ins dialog box, you see an additional add-in, Analysis ToolPak - VBA. This addin<br />

is for a programmer, and you don’t need to install it.<br />

I cover pivot tables in Chapter 18, and you can learn more about the conditional formatting<br />

data bars in Chapter 19.<br />

Figure 7-11: Using data bars within a pivot table to display a histogram.<br />

Using adjustable bins to create a histogram<br />

Figure 7-12 shows a worksheet with student grades listed in column B (67 students total).<br />

Columns D and E contain formulas that calculate the upper and lower limits for bins, based on<br />

the entry in cell E1 (named BinSize). For example, if BinSize is 10 (as in the figure), then each bin<br />

contains ten scores (1–10, 11–20, and so on).
