    Please use following measure:

    Norm.Dist = 
VAR __Mean = CALCULATE( AVERAGE(Sheet1[Age]) , ALLSELECTED( Sheet1 ))
VAR __StdDev = CALCULATE( STDEV.S(Sheet1[Age]) , ALLSELECTED( Sheet1 ))
VAR __Result =  NORM.DIST( AVERAGE( Sheet1[Age]) ,__Mean  ,__StdDev,FALSE())
RETURN
   __Result

Hi zebra ,

 

You are correct. Theoretically, all data is capable of using a normal distribution, but set a specific range of labels.

 

Hope it helps!

    Hi zebra ,

     

    This is a problem with the data itself, see below:

     

    It suggests that this part of the data is not well suited for a normal distribution

     

    Hope it helps!

      I think I am unable to explain the problem well. please see the screenshot below

       

      in this screenshot, we have two graphs. i numbered them as 1 or 2. both represents barcelona data.  here I want to have graph 1 similar to graph 2 however this is not despite of the fact that both represent barcelona data. the only difference is that graph 1 is made from that data that consists of all cities data along with barcelona however filtered from top.  please see sheet 1 data. the graph 2 consist of only barcelona data. please see sheet 2 data. 

       

      I hope i clear the problem, here i only want both graphs should be similar. it does not matter that this data is suitable for normal distribtion or not.  please let me know if there is any other ambiguity.
