Hi mohdt21
I attached a sample chart. Data refresh in chart automatically as you change your data selection.

Hi Qaiser_j,
Thank you for your help, you did a great job. However, I need the bars in the histogram to touch each other as instructed by my textbook. And if I did that there will be no space as shown in the image above on the onset of the first bar so how to overcome this!
I have also noticed that you used the class i.e., 30-39 for each bar label instead of using just number boundaries as in my textbooks.
I wish you would help me fix that.You seem to be concerned about presentational detail. I chose to use a column chart in preference to the statistical chart with bin labels. Excel is not a graphic art package but it does offer a fair level of control through formatting.
