Excel for Mac 2008: make a vertical bar graph

This tutorial walks you through how to take the average and standard deviation calculated from raw data and display it as a vertical bar graph. It is the second of two parts for making a graph of discontinuous data using Excel for Mac 2008. Two other videos detailing how to make a line graph are also available at YouTube.

This stinks. I wanted a histogram. Is this a histogram. no. you just called a histogran a vertical bar graph. What a waste of my time.

[toddnickle]

@TheKingOlliver Okay. I owe you six minutes of your time.

the title says for mac 2008. There are no right and left clicks with a Mac.

[toddnickle]

That's a good point. You can configure your Mac trackpad to register a second type of click using "System Preferences". You can designate a position on the pad to be a secondary click (right click) or set up a two finger "secondary tap". I suspect it depends on which Mac you have, though. I'm not an expert. Putting on an external button mouse can also make a "right click" simple.

Hello, Thanks for doing this . any idea how to do it if you have 2 columns for each category (x)??

thank you, saved my life on my lab report!

@sistahpb yes there is left is normal click and right click is command + click

That's great and all, but this is not a histogram. To make a histogram you'll need to install StatPlus...and then rip your hair out because formatting the thing is a bitch. That's what I was hoping you would show here

Thanks for all the help! you have no idea how much you have helped me. I have a homework assignment due tomorrow and had no idea on how to get the average and standard deviation and create a histogram and now thanks to you I know now.

THANKS:)
