Default How do I create a bell curve?

Thanks guys.

To be more precise:
Say I had a budget of 4,200,000 to be distributed over the 12 months of a
financial year. I'd like to create a bell curve as a graphical representation
of the financial distribution over this time, using whatever formula needed
to create a normal looking bell curve (but slightly skewed towards the
positive values on the x axis). Thus, the values don't have to be exact, so
long as the overall budget amount is correct, and the bell curve appears as
described above.

I'm not sure how to do create this bell curve.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Any help would be much appreciated.


Was it not suggested a week ago that you formulate the same question
more precisely, tho' David Bidduph's suggestion on NORMDIST should be
checked
