The frequency values for each band will be entered in the corresponding row. The formula we need to enter in our case is, =FREQUENCY(B6:B105,C6:C15) and when you press ctrl+shift+enter instead of just enter. How do you do that? Simple, select a range of cells, enter the formula in the first cell by start typing =frequency… and when you are done, just press ctrl+shift+enter and excel takes care of the rest. As you can guess, the formula returns an array of frequencies, so it must be entered in a bunch of cells together.

Create a frequency formula and array enter it in to the spreadsheetĪssuming the test scores are in the range B6:B105 and bands are in the range c6:c15:įirst select the cells D6:D16 (10 cells, 1 each for the frequency between 0-10, 10-20, 20-30, … 90-100) and then enter the FREQUENCY() formula.įREQUENCY is an excel function that takes a range of values and a range of bands and tells you how the values are distributed in the bands. Define the bands for distributionĪssuming the test scores range from 0 to 100, you can define score bands like 10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100 2. Also, download the statistical distributions example workbook and play with it. Just follow the below 2 steps to create statistical distribution / frequency of any set of values using excel.

This is a part of our spreadcheats series of posts where we aim to solve 30 common work related excel problems, one at a time.

Today we will learn how you can make a statistical distribution of test scores using excel. Excel has very powerful formulas and add-ins for performing almost any kind of statistical analysis.
