Graphs and Excel charts are a great way to visualize complex datasets, and Bell curves are no exception. They let you analyze a normal distribution easily and can be easily created in Excel. Let’s find out how. Keep in mind that the purpose of a bell curve goes beyond simply prettifying the data. There are many forms of data analysis that can be performed on such a chart, revealing many trends and characteristics of the dataset.

Introduction to a Normal Distribution Bell curves are only useful to visualize datasets that are distributed normally. So before we dive into bell curves, let us take a look into what a normal distribution even means. Basically, any dataset where the values are largely clustered around the mean can be called a normal distribution (or a Gaussian distribution as it is sometimes called). Most naturally collected datasets tend to be like that, from employee performa...
