    Histogram Trending with a Normal Curve

    Hello

    Please show me how to create a histogram that is fitted with a normal distribution curve ("bell curve") in Excel. Probability density function please!

    Thank you for your response, sweep. Maybe I'm doing something wrong on your example, but I cannot get the probability to add up to 1 (100%). Do you have any suggestions?

    See attached. I'm on Excel 2010.

    You can modify formula in F2 (and copy down):

    of course for such data as yours it still will be well below 1 because you draw only middle part of the frequency curve and probabilyty of large tails is missing, but see sample data in attached file - almost 1.
