Make a second column using the same formula as the first but with a slightly
different average (mean) and standard deviation. Unless you are using
XL2007, select the range and drag it on to the chart Or use Copy; click the
chart; use Paste Special New Series.

If you are using the formula that I think you are, then changing the width
(standard dev) will change the height since the area under both curves
should be the same.

best wishes
