Excel Data Analysis and Histograms

So, you want to make a quick Histogram in MS Excel, but can't find the "Data Analysis" command?

Just click on Tools and you will find "Data Analysis".

I clicked on Tools but didn't find "Data..." anywhere.

Okay, click on the double-arrow so you can see the complete list of items under the Excel Tools menu.

Nope, still no sign.

Hmmm... Click on Tools - Add Ins. Then check the box beside "Analysis Toolpak"

Argh. I'll need to re-install some parts of Excel...

Sigh. If you're able to get through that Excel hurdle, check out this tutorial on basic histograms in Excel.
