    Formula for bins/blanks

    I am doing statistical analysis on some torque and angle numbers, and it's for a lot of stations. I have a sheet I can copy data numbers into and it will pump out mean, stdev, +/-3sigma, etc. I would like to set up a sheet to produce a histogram based on the statistical data.

    I started and have another sheet that requires a bin size to be entered and then a column fills with +/-10sigma as an upper and lower limit based on the bin size I entered. The problem is, I have to use this formula for the entire column as I may be collecting 200 samples or up to 25000+ samples. Using a formula to do this ends with a bunch of blank cells at the bottom of the column that ruin the histogram. If I filter and remove blanks from the bin column, the histogram is fine.

    I would just like to paste the data in the first tab and have everything populate properly without having to filter every time to remove blanks. Is there a way to prevent the blanks from being included into the histogram data?

    If you set up the formula to show an error, instead of blanks, the chart will ignore the errors
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
