Hello,

Can you create the bell curve for a z-score in excel 2003? I don't see it as an option in the chart wizard.

Thanks!!

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
Perhaps
=(1/(Sigma*SQRT(2*PI())))*EXP(-1/2*((B2-Mu1)/Sigma)^2)
where
B2 = 20
B3=B2+Step

You can create you own bell shape chart.
B2 = 20
B3 = B2 + 0.2
C2 = (1/(0.4*SQRT(2*PI())))*EXP(-1/2*((B2-24)/0.4)^2)
or
C2 = (1/($D$2*SQRT(2*PI())))*EXP(-1/2*((B2-$D$3)/$D$2)^2)
where $D$2 = 0.4 and $D$3 = 24
Copy B3 and drag down to B75
Do the same with column C
Note:
In =(1/(Sigma*SQRT(2*PI())))*EXP(-1/2*((B2-Mu1)/Sigma)^2)
Sigma and Mu1 are cells name
