To do so, right-click on one of the Series 1 bars, and on the context menu that appears, select Format Data Point.To make our bar-line chart into a histogram, we need to remove the gap between the bars. You should now have a bar graph from Series 1, and a line graph from Series 2, which come together to form a bar and line graph.Īrticle continues after the advertisement: Turning the chart into a histogram.On the ensuing pop-up, select one of the line graphs, then click OK.Right-click on one of the Series 2 bars, and on the context menu that appears, select Change Series Chart Type. This should bring up a pop-up similar to the one seen when first creating the bar graph. We will be removing Series 3, and formatting Series 2 so that it displays as a line (instead of a bar). Each horizontal category of your chart should be partitioned into 3 “series”. A bar chart should appear on your Word document, alongside an accompanying Microsoft Excel window containing the data for the chart.Select the first chart in the Column tab, then click OK to create the chart. Bar charts are categorised under the Column tab in this pop-up.Go to the Insert panel, then click on the Chart icon to open up a pop-up where you can select the chart you want to insert. We will start by creating a bar chart.
Once that is done, we will modify that so that it resembles a histogram used for visualising frequency distributions. To begin, we will first create a bar-line chart in our Word document. Not fond of reading? Check out our video guide for this article, which summarises everything below in 2 minutes. They are essentially bar-line graphs (the histogram is a bar graph, and the frequency polygon is a line grpah), but without the gaps between the bars in the bar graph. Histograms with frequency polygons are often used in statistics to organise quantitative data and visualise frequency distributions.
The way to create some of these charts are not immediately obvious, however, and one of these kinds of charts is the histogram (with an accompanying frequency polygon). Microsoft Word has a bevy of powerful chart-making tools, capable of creating almost any kind of graph or chart that one can imagine.
