Generating random number

For calculating normally distributed random variable, do we need standard deviation and mean ?

what if we don't have this information ? or it is not possible to calculate without standard deviation and mean ?

This is a statistics question, not an Excel question. A normal distribution is defined by the mean and variance (which is the standard deviation squared). If you don't have those, then you can't define the distribution.
