Bell curve with date ranges

Hi, I'm trying to create a Bell Curve with an average spread along the weeks between the date range. What's the best way to do it. I'm getting my feet wet in BI and wanted to try this out.   Thanks...

    Hi, I found a way to generate the points. I used the Normal Distribution formula with some assumptions. Now visualizing them in BI is a challenge. I have different datasets for different projects and would like to show all of them overlapping in one graph. Which means there must one column with all the projects and it's Normally disributed curve points. Please see the image below. I moved the columns manually Please see image 2 for understanding how the dataset is setup.

    Hi drallam,

    I appreciate that you shared your solution. Please mark your reply as answer, so that more members will find a workaround from here. As you said, it's a challenge in Power BI, you can create a idea here. Power BI will become better after support.
