The frequency distribution created by Prism does not match that created by Excel.

Each 'bin' represents the number of values within a certain range. Excel labels each bin with the largest value that goes in that bin. Prism labels each bin with the midpoint of the bin. For example, say a bin contains all values between 10 and 20. Excel would label this  '20', while Prism would label it '15'.
