Back-to-back Stem and Leaf Plot Template in Excel

Create a double or two-sided stem and leaf plot in seconds.

A stem and leaf plot shows the spread and distribution of a data set.

• Stem represents the first digits of the data points
• Leaves represent the second digits in the data sets (numbers 0-9)
• Median is the mid point in the data set and is shown next to the leaf

A back-to-back stem and leaf plot shows two data sets. The data sets share the same stem and have their own set of leaves.

When Should I Use a Back-to-Back Stem and Leaf Plot?

Use a back-to-back or double sided stem and leaf plot when you want to compare the spread and distribution of two data sets. You can also use side by side histograms for the same purpose or lay the plots on their sides for a different view.
