I would like to make a chart of the attached spreadsheet data that shows the number or percentage of cities with a population of 0-999, 1000-1999, 2000-2999, etc...
What steps do I follow in excel 2013 to make such a chart? ARcities.xlsx

I have had a play with the data and grouped the values by rounding the population up to the next 1000.
With this grouping by 1000, you are going to have a lot of groups, 34 in total.
I have then Grouped the data using a Pivot table, counting the groups.
I have then drawn a Pie Chart (much as I don't like them) but it doesn't really show much. One big slice (approx 62%) for those with less than 1000 and lots of thin slivers for the rest.
If you were to condense the number of groups, eg 0 - 9,999; 10,000 to 19,999 etc, this would help considerably.

Grouping by 10,000 doesn't seem to help much either.
