What is a “Frequency Distribution?” A good example is to see how frequently daily sales are “under $75.00” or how often they range “between $75.00 and $150.00.” Once you know how frequently a result occurs, you can better focus your attention on that particular segment of your business.
In this short 5 minute and 45 second Excel Training Video Lesson, I demonstrate two approaches to creating a Frequency Distribution Report:
- Use the =FREQUENCY() Function – this is an ARRAY Function.
- In a Pivot Table, Group the Row Labels to produce a Frequency Distribution.
An ARRAY Function has two “Got’cha steps:”
- Select all of the cells that will contain the results before your enter your Array Formula.
- Use the Ctrl + Shift + Enter keyboard combination to enter your Array Formula.
