Between/Within Histogram in Excel

How do you create a Between/Within Histogram using QI Macros?

Used to represent the Potential Process Tolerance, you can create a Histogram Cp Cpk (Between/Within) chart within Excel by selecting your data set and clicking on the "Histograms & Capability" drop-down menu > "Histogram Cp Cpk (Between/Within)":

Next, input your Upper and Lower Specification Limits when prompted. If you do not have one, USL/LSL will be calculated for you - select "OK" for each prompt:

You will also be asked for the "Approximate Number of Bars." If you do not know the approximate number of bars you would like on your Histogram, press "OK":

NOTE: The Between/Within Histogram uses between/within-subgroup standard deviation, instead of overall standard deviation.
