Plotting bell curve/normal distribution/Gaussian

 

Hi, I havent been having any luck wih my normal distribution graph, 

When I view my chart in table format these are the values that I have for some reason there is an error calculating the values around the mean

FrequencyNormal FrequencyNormal Frequency
-20 <= x < -1510.000338372-
-15 <= x < -1010.0093220850.028161867

0 <= x < 586--

40 <= x < 4511.5E-92.7E-5
45 <= x < 5011.4E-101.6E-9

The first Column is the dimension - class(salesInc,5)

2nd colomn expression - expression count(distinct salesId)

3rd column -normdist( salesInc,avg({1} total salesInc),stdev({1} total salesInc),0 )

4th comumn - (normdist( salesInc ,avg({1} total salesInc),stdev({1} total salesInc))
-
normdist(above(salesInc),avg({1} total salesInc),stdev({1} total salesInc)))*
Count(DISTINCTsalesId))

I got help with these formulas from a previous post

That's probably because salesInc is ambiguous for all classes with a frequency higher than 1.

If you want a sampling point in the center of your class width, try maybe

(floor(salesInc,5)+ceil(salesInc, 5))/2

like

normdist( (floor(salesInc,5)+ceil(salesInc, 5))/2,avg({1} total salesInc),stdev({1} total salesInc),0 )

edit:

Ah, the same problem will persist using just floor() or ceil() function. Hm, maybe:

normdist( (floor(min(salesInc),5)+ceil(min(salesInc), 5))/2,avg({1} total salesInc),stdev({1} total salesInc),0 )

or

normdist( only((floor(salesInc,5)+ceil(salesInc, 5))/2),avg({1} total salesInc),stdev({1} total salesInc),0 )
