Input

For help with range controls, see: Specifying Your Input Data

Range1
X
Specify the data range for the X values.
Y
Specify the data range for the Y values.
Rows
Choose the row ranges on which the 2D Frequency Counts/Binning is performed.
From
The row to begin 2D Frequency Counts/Binning.
To
The row to end 2D Frequency Counts/Binning.

X

Use this branch to specify the X binning range. The minimum and maximum X values are displayed to the right of the node.

Specify Binning Range by

Specify the way to define the X binning range.

  • Bin Centers
    X binning range is indicated by bin centers.
  • Bin Ends
    X binning range is indicated by bin ends.
Minimum Bin Beginning

Specify the minimum X bin starting value.

Maximum Bin End

Specify the maximum X bin ending value.

Step by

Specify bin construction, including Bin Size and Number of Bins.

Bin Size

Specify the fixed step size for X bins.

Number of Bins

Generated automatically by the bin range and increment.

Periodical

Specify whether or not the data is periodic.

Period

Specify a period for the data. Control available when Periodical is checked.

Border Options
Include Outliers
Add outliers to lowest and highest bins. Only available when Periodical is selected.
Include Outliers < Minimum
Include outliers that are less than bin minimum of the lowest bin. Available when Periodical is cleared.
Include Outliers >= Maximum
Include outliers that are greater than or equal to the bin maximum of the highest bin. Available when Periodical is cleared.
Separately Count Minimum
Bin the minimum value separately.
Separately Count Maximum
Bin the maximum value separately.
Output Binning Order

Specify the sort order of the bin data output.

  • Ascending
    Output bin data in ascending order.
  • Descending
    Output bin data in descending order.

Y

Settings for Y binning range.

Specify Y Binning Range by

Specify the parameter that defines the Y binning range.

  • Bin Centers
    Y binning range is indicated by bin centers.
  • Bin Ends
    Y binning range is indicated by bin ends.
Minimum Bin Beginning

The minimum value for the lowest Y bin.

Maximum Bin End

The maximum value for the lowest Y bin.

Step by

Specify bin construction, including Bin Size and Number of Bins.

Bin Size

Specify the fixed step size for Y bins.

Number of Bins

Generated automatically by the bin range and increment.

Periodical

Specify whether or not the data is periodic.

Period

Specify a period for the data. It is available when Periodical is checked.

Border Options
Include Outliers
Add outliers to lowest and highest bins. Only available when Periodical is selected.
Include Outliers < Minimum
Include outliers that are less than bin minimum of the lowest bin. Available when Periodical is cleared.
Include Outliers>=Maximum
Include outliers that are greater than or equal to the bin maximum of the highest bin. Available when Periodical is cleared..
Separately Count Minimum
Bin the minimum value separately.
Separately Count Maximum
Bin the maximum value separately.
Output Binning Order

Specify the sort order of the bin data output.

  • Ascending
    Output bin data in ascending order.
  • Descending
    Output bin data in descending order.

Quantity to Compute

Compute selected bin statistics.

Minimum Output minimum for each bin.
Maximum Output maximum for each bin.
Mean Compute and output mean for each bin.
Median Output median for each bin.
Sum Compute and output sum for each bin.
Count Compute and output count for each bin.
Percent Frequency Compute and output percent frequency for each bin.

Column to Compute Quantity

Available when an option other than Count is chosen from the Quantity to Compute drop-down list. Select a column to compute the Quantity to Compute. The Customized option allows choosing an arbitrary column in the current worksheet.

Base Column

Available only when Column to Compute Quantity = Customized. Allows you choose an arbitrary column in the current worksheet.

Bin Output

Specify whether to output the Bin, Bin Begin and Bin Center/Bin End for specified X Binning Ranges. By default, these three boxes are not checked.

Output Worksheet

Output results to a worksheet.

Subtotal Count for Each Binned Y

Available when two conditions are met:

  • The Output Worksheet check box is selected.
  • The Quantity to Compute is Sum, Count or Percent Frequency.

Output the subtotal count for each binned Y to the Output Worksheet.

Output Matrix

Output the result to a matrix.

Matrix Plots

Available when Output Matrix is selected.

3D Bars

Plot a 3D bar graph from the output matrix.

Image Plot

Plot an image plot from the output matrix.
