Create a Bell Curve Graph

To create a Bell Curve / Normal Distribution graph,

1) First we need to calculate the x-axis and y-axis.
2) For x-axis, Range is from Mean-3*SD to Mean+3*SD.(Data1 (E:E), Data2 (U:U) )
In our Example, Mean-3*SD is -78.89. So E2 = -78.89, E3=E2+1 E4=E3+1...so on . Add 1 till it reaches to Mean+3*SD i.e 152.89


3) And For y-axis , use formula =NORMDIST($E$2:$E$233,$C$2,$C$3,FALSE) in F column for Data1 , or
=NORMDIST($U$2:$U$152,$T$2,$T$3,FALSE) in V column for Data2.
syntax: =NORMDIST(x, mean, standard_dev; cumulative)


So, we have created 2 column for each data set. E2:F233 for Data1; U2:V152 for Data2.
4) Select E2:F233. Click on Insert tab >> Select scatter graph (scatter with smooth line). And here, we are done with Bell Graph for Data1.
Similary, Select U2:V152. Click on Insert tab >> Select scatter (scatter with smooth line) for Data2.



Optional, to overlap graph into one another . Click on Data2 graph. Press Ctrl+X to cut the data, then Select the Data1 graph and press Ctrl+V to paste into it.


Thank You!!

Combine Multiple Columns into One Column without Macro.

Combine Multiple Columns into One Column without Macro.


To Combine Multiple columns(A2:F21) into one column(K2:K121) without macro, it is convenient to use OFFSET function .
For Offset function ( K Column), we need Rows(I:I) and Column(J:J) number.
Steps:
1) Column H is for S.No.. Start H2 fom zero & for H3 formula is =H2+1 and drag down the formula. In our Example, we have 120 entries - sno is 0 to 119.

2) Column I is Adjusted Row, formula in I2 is =MOD(H2,20). Since each rows has 20 entries, that's why we used 20 in MOD function.

3) Column J is Adjusted column, formula in J2 is =INT(H2/20)

4) Column K is Combined list, formula in K2 is =OFFSET($A$2,I2,J2).
