Office 365 Excel Histogram
Mira_S The file you attached is an old format .xls file. This file format was used in Excel up to version 2003.
When this file is opened with modern Excel, it will be in "compatibility mode" and any features that were added to Excel in versions 2007 and up will not be available.
You need to use the Save As command and then select Excel Workbook (*xlsx) in the drop down for the file type, where it currently says Excel 97-2003 Workbook (*.xls)
After that, you need to close the workbook and open it again. Check the green title bar at the top of the Excel window. If it says "Compatibility mode" it still runs in the old Excel mode.
