Start with a list of values, 30 random values between 1 and 30 (B3:B32).
Create a table with 3 columns, Range, Upper, Frequency (D2:F12).
In the first column (D) add the ranges which you would like displayed on your histogram. We are going to use blocks of 3: 0-3, 3-6, 6-9, etc
In the second column (E) add the numerical value which is the largest in each range: 3, 6, 9, 12 etc
In the third column (F) use the FREQUENCY function to add an array formula to return the frequency of each range.
