JC1379 -

Trying to add a Gaussian (Normal Distribution) curve to a histogram, but I
dont know how. Any tips or advice? <


One way is to use a combination chart, with a Column chart type for the
vertical histogram bars and an XY (Scatter) chart type for the normal
density curve.

You could start with the chart generated by my free Better Histogram add-in,
available at www.treeplan.com, which produces a combination chart (so that
the horizontal axis is more properly labeled), and then you could change
that chart's XY (Scatter) data series to be based on worksheet data using
NORMDIST for the curve. You must be careful about scaling so that the Column
chart type and the XY (Scatter) chart type are aligned correctly.
