Excel Cell References and Formatting

This video tutorial demonstrates how to calculate relative frequency in Excel. It begins with setting up a chart and using the SUM function to find the total. The tutorial then explains how to calculate relative frequency by dividing each value by the total, using absolute references to maintain the correct formula structure. Finally, it covers formatting the results to display the desired number of decimal places and converting them to percentages if needed.
