Re: Creating Bell Curve Chart   
You probably want a combination chart, with a column series showing a 
histogram of your values and a line series showing a normal distribution 
density curve based on the mean and standard deviation of the data.

Tushar Mehta has instructions for a normal probability curve (bell curve) on 
his website, http://tushar-mehta.com

Re: Creating Bell Curve Chart   
Thaks Jon, But I had seen this link before but is still all 'double-dutch' to 
me. I have the following list of numbers for example:26
20
28
16
84.9
15
17
28
29
22
  Where in the link do I start with to use these numbers to create a bell 
curve etc. I know how to get the mean, stdev, for this. I can create a column 
graph as well I think. But where to for the next step in putting it all 
together in a bell curve etc.

Re: Creating Bell Curve Chart   
Have you looked at
Understanding the Standard Normal distribution and how it connects all other 
Normal distribution functions
http://www.tushar-mehta.com/excel/charts/normal_distribution/
#understanding_std_norm ?

Also, to test whether the data represent a normal distribution, you might 
want to look at
