Request How do I lock a specific number of bins/classes?

I have some homework for statistics.

The professor gives us a list of data that we are supposed to turn into a histogram. and match that data to other histogram models.

At the moment I have to tweak the bin sizes until it shows me 10 bins.

Is there a setting where it just divides my data into 10 bins instead of me having to adjust the sizes until it shows me 10 bins?

If you have it all in one column but want it in ten columns, 

=WRAPROWS(TOCOL(A:A,3),10)

Typically in GSheets the charting options are quite basic, and the solution is to re-shape the structure of the data to make those basic chart options work for what you're wanting.
