Frequency Histogram and Relative Frequency Histogram with normality analysis and capability analysis

Relative standard deviation (RSD and 3RSD) Distribution; The spreadsheet can also automatically print charts: Data plot; Frequency distribution histogram; All these values are calculated using Excel built-in functions. Thanks to that, the spreadsheet is interactive and automatically updates the results if the data is modified. Creating a Histogram in Excel 2016. Excel 2016 got a new addition in the charts section where a histogram chart was added as an inbuilt chart. In case you’re using Excel 2013 or prior versions, check out the next two sections (on creating histograms using Data Analysis Toopack or Frequency formula). After selecting the histogram from the data analysis bar, such dialogue box will be appeared, now you have to select the Input range ( select the whole temperature reading ) then select the temperature bin range as describe in arrow as per step -5 and finally enter the ok after selecting the output range( for output range you have to select at any point in excel where you would like.

What is a histogram chart?

A histogram is a special type of vertical bar chart

that is used to discover and show the shape (frequency distribution) of a set of continuous data that has been separated into equally sized bins

Use your Excel Histogram template to measure (and reduce) variation in any process

What's a Relative Frequency Histogram?

Rather than showing the frequency counts...

the bars show the relative percentages.

By simply using a dropdown list...

you can easily switch between a Frequency Histogram, and a Relative Frequency Histogram.

Sample Histogram example
using dropdown lists to easily switch between Spec Target vs. Mean Average,
and between Frequency Count and Relative Frequency Percent

Try it for yourself

why

Why and when to use your

Excel Histogram Template

Use it...

• to visually show and analyze the shape of the frequency distribution of your data
• to determine whether or not the data fits a normal distribution curve
• to decide whether to use Average or Median when using your Kanban Calculator
• to evaluate Process Capability(can your process meet your specifications?)

A true histogram requires continuous numeric data

If your data is not continuous, but rather is categorical data, such as:

Nominal data: this is not numerical

For example: How often do each of these 8 common types of defects occur?

Dichotomous data: that has only 2 choices

Example: Yes or no. True or false. Good or defective.

Ordinal data: choices that can be ranked, but not quantified

Example: Horrible, Bad, OK, Good, Great

then you can follow our instructions for how to make an Excel Histogram for discrete data.

data

Enter (or link to ) your data

Click the Page Navigation link

to go to the Data section.

Data column

Enter (or link to) your data here — between the gold lines.

You can add unlimited rows above the bottom gold line.

Description and User-Defined columns

are optional.

Rounding

If your data is fractions (rather than whole numbers), then enter your desired number of decimal places in the Rounding field. (just above the Data section)

Specifications (optional)

The Specifications section is optional, and can be hidden if not used.

At any time, you can use the dropdown list in row 4 to chart either:

1. Mean Average + or - 3 Standard Deviations, or...
2. Target and LSL USL

Target (T)

The perfect ideal that your specifications seek to produce.

Lower Specification Limit (LSL)

The lowest boundary of what is still acceptable to deliver to meet your customer's needs.

Upper Specification Limit (USL)

The highest boundary of what is still acceptable to deliver to meet your customer's needs.

At any time... you can use the dropdown lists

At any time, you can use the dropdown lists at the top of the page to switch between:

1. Vertical lines of Target, LSL and USL,
2. or vertical lines of Mean Average, and +/- 3 Standard Deviations and to to switch between:

1. Frequency Histogram (Y axis is actual count of frequency distribution)
2. Relative Frequency Histogram (Y axis is percentages... that add up to 100%)

Whenever your data changes...

Whenever your data changes,
use the button to 'Update Chart'

Excel Ribbon bar > Systems2win tab > Update Chart

This will automatically hide or show the correct rows to make your chart look right.

Tip: If you used the Insert Sheet button to add a histogram to a workbook that has your data, then the 'Update Chart' button won't be available.

You are, however, able to manually hide and show rows to optimize the size of the chart to fit the correct number of bins for your data.

Observations

Observations (n)

Do not edit blue cells.

It will automatically count the number of rows of Observations in the Data section.

Minimum number of Observations

In order for analysis to have any meaning, a typical Histogram will usually have at least 50 rows of data in the data section.

Many of the calculation fields will display an asterisk (*)
until your data has at least the minimum number of observations that you specify in the field called 'Lowest'

which you will find in the next section of the page — below the Histogram

Range

The next section of analysis data beside your histogram frequency chart analyzes the range of how clustered or spread out your data is.

Range

High minus Low

Low and High values

Lowest and highest values observed.

Standard Deviation

A measure of how closely data values are clustered around the Mean Average.

+/- 3 Standard Deviations

3 Standard Deviations below and above the Mean Average.

If the data fits a normal distribution curve, then 97.3% of all values will fall within +/- 3 Standard Deviations.

norm

Normal Distribution?

The next analysis section of your Excel Histogram allows you to quickly determine whether or not your observed data fits a normal distribution curve.

Mean Average

Sum of all observed data values / Number of Observations (n)

Median Average

An equal number of values occur above and below this value

Mode

The value that occurs most frequently

Skewness

A value very close to zero (0)

means that your data is symmetrically balanced

A positive value

means that your data is 'right-tailed'

Excel For Mac Relative Frequency Histogram Example

A negative value

means that your data is 'left-tailed'

Kurtosis

A value very close to zero (0)

means that your data is distributed close to normally

A positive value

means that your data is peaked

(Data is more tightly grouped than a normal distribution)

A negative value

means that your data is flat

(There is less in the middle and more near the ends... compared to a normal distribution)

Skewness and Kurtosis should both usually be less than 2 or 3 to be considered normal.

Values turn bold red to alert you if over the thresholds that you specify in the Andon fields outside of the print area.

cap

Capability Analysis

The final analysis section of your Excel Histogram helps you to determine whether or not your process is capable of meeting your specifications.

Defects (dpmo)

Anticipated defects per million opportunities.

Even if your sample data did not observe any defects, this calculates how many defects might be expected if you made a million observations.

Defects less than LSL and greater than USL

Expected defects per million opportunities that fail below the Lower Specification Limit and that fail above the Upper Specification Limit

Defects (%)

Anticipated defects per million opportunities — as a percentage

Yield (%)

1 minus Defects %

Sigma Quality Level

A popular measure of quality.

Larger number is better.
Six Sigma is superb (more than the quality level needed for most processes)

User-Defined Analysis

You have all the power of familiar Microsoft Excel to perform any additional analysis of capability, normality, or anything else that you want to analyze about your Excel Histogram.

Why I created the Excel data analysis tool

During my day to day job I sometimes need to perform testing on a sample, analyse the data and summarise the results. Most of the times this is done to verify the accuracy of a filling equipment. After performing a series of doses (normally between 100 and 1000) I have to analyse some basic statistical data like average, standard deviation, relative standard deviation, etc. This allows to summarise the findings before presenting them to my colleagues.

The procedure to analyse the data in Excel is not particularly difficult, but needs some time to setup the spreadsheet, gather the data, write the formulas, create the charts and format the whole page to make it nice to present.

Excel data analysis spreadsheet and add-in were created to simplify this procedure. After activating the interface, the user selects the data and the place where to position the results. After inputting the data unit of measure, the results are ready to be printed.

The spreadsheet can automatically calculate:

• Maximum value
• Minimum value
• Average
• Variance
• Standard deviation
• Relative standard deviation (RSD and 3RSD)
• Distribution

The spreadsheet can also automatically print charts:

• Data plot
• Frequency distribution histogram

All these values are calculated using Excel built-in functions. Thanks to that, the spreadsheet is interactive and automatically updates the results if the data is modified. Using an options menu the user can define which data to print. The settings are stored for next use.

Excel data analysis is available as a ready-to-use spreadsheet and as an add-in. This allows to perform the data analysis on every spreadsheet by just clicking on a button.
