Histogram Chart

The histogram is similar to a bar chart but it groups the values into continuous ranges. Each bar in the histogram represents the height of the number of values present in that range. The X-Axis remains a continuous scale in the Histogram chart that makes it different from the Vertical Bar Chart. The Histograms make it easy to grasp where most values fall in a measurement scale, and how much variation is there. It is used to summarize a large amount of data or compare process results with specification limits.

Best Situations to Use a Histogram chart

To summarize massive data sets graphically
To compare process results with specification limits
To communicate information graphically for the most frequent values
