To do this, we select any value in this column and choose “Sort Largest to Smallest” option under the “Sort & Filter” button in Home tab. We also sorted the pivot table by “Count of Sales” in descending order. Also, in PivotTable Fields, under Values, the field name is changed from the “Sum of Sales” to “Count of Sales”. In the pop-up window, we need to choose “Count” option, under Summarize Values By tab:Īfter changing field settings, we have the second column renamed to “Count of Sales” with counted sales by intervals. Change value field settings in the pivot table In the Values part, click on the Sum of Sales field and choose “Value Field Settings” option: In order to achieve this, we need to click on the pivot table, to get PivotTable Fields window on the right side. Therefore, we have to change this column to count of sales. Instead, we want to know how many sales belong to each interval.

Group selection – intervals definitionĪs a result, we have the pivot table with row labels grouped in intervals of $100, as presented in the Image 7: For intervals length we set 100: Image 6. By default, start and end are the minimum and maximum value from the range. In the pop-up screen for grouping, we need to define the intervals start, end and length. In the Analyze tab of PivotTable Tools, we need to choose “Group Selection” button: Image 5. To do this, we need to select any value in the first column. First, we will group row labels (Sales) in equal intervals of $100. Choosing fields for the pivot tableĪs we can see in Image 4, the pivot table is created, but we need to set the data appropriately, so we can create a histogram. We can drag and drop the “Sales” field into Rows and values:

Now we need to choose fields in order to create the pivot table. We included the whole table including the header. In our case, the range is B2:D26 on Worksheet “Table”. In the popup screen, we need to select a table in “Table/Range” option. In the Insert tab, we choose button “PivotTable”. First, we will create a new Worksheet called “Pivot”. Now when we have data ready, we can create the pivot table. In the pivot table, we want to present the number of sales in each interval. This table will be the data source for the pivot table. Let’s look at the data that we will use:Īs we can see in Image 1, our table in Worksheet “Table” consists of 3 columns: “Product” (column B), “Month” (column C) and “Sales” (column D). To be able to create a pivot table and chart, we need to set up the table with data first. We will present a number of sales within several equal sales intervals (210-309, 310-409, etc.).Ĭreating the Data Source for the Pivot Table In this article, we will explain a histogram usage on the example of multiple product sales. A histogram is often used to present the number of students with a number of points in a range (55-64, 65-74, 75-84, etc.) or a number of people in age groups (0-7, 8-15, 15-22, 23-30, etc.).
