This is actually an issue with the "ZooTools & Google Sheets Help" document at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nrn854J55C94LWnXyDJ6ZgbGuxzI2c6_84H15L6wTjU/

So, if this is not exactly the right place to address this issue, I apologize! Please let me know where else I can send it.

Under "How to make a Histogram using Google Sheets:" Step 6 says "Within ‘Setup’ go to ‘Chart type’ and select ‘Column’ from the drop down menu, this will generate your histogram or bar chart " However, 'Column' is not actually right, it would just create a graph with a vertical bar for each data value and they would be ordered from left to right in order they appear in the spreadsheet.

The right choice is 'Histogram' which is near the bottom of the options under 'Other'
