Creating Bell Curve using DAX

Hi All,

 

Need your help as I'm new to PBI.  I'm creating a scorecard that requires a bell curve metric.

 

Say:

DeveloperTasks Count
Dev 1            58.25
Dev 2            21.00
Dev 3            12.00
Dev 4               8.00
Dev 5               6.00

 

Can someone direct me on how to create a column or measure to show the bell curve of the tasks count that contains Bins of (1,2,3,4,5) where 1 = 5% of the tasks count, 2 = 15% of the tasks count, 3 = 60% of the tasks count, 4 = 75% of the tasks count and 5 = 80% of the tasks count.  Thanks in advance!

Hi,

 

In the graph that you show you can see a bar graph but not a curve. Does anyone know how to transform it into a Gauss bell curve?

 

Thanks!

I'm working on creating a bell curve myself - i found this video on youtube by josep romero - and by following along, I've been able to create the curve - I just can't get my data to show up on it - but watch his 3 videos, and you'll at least get a good basis.  The 1st of the 3 video's is call "Normal Distribution (Gauss Curve) in Power BI (Part 1)
