Distribution Chart

Good day Everyone,

 

I hope that you can enlighten me with what path should I take. As this is my first time creating a report similar to the chart below, I am unsure if I this is a Normal Distribution Chart (I have very small knowledge about this) or I am just making this complicated as I am unable to replicate this on PoweBI.

Thank you in advance!

Hello @v-janeyg-msft ,

 

I really appreciate your time on this. You have saved so much time for me. The last question that I have is, and I don't know if this is even a valid question, why did you multiply the normal distribution by 1000 on your table?

Thank you!

Hi, @Anonymous 

 

It's irrelevant, I just want to make the value not so small.It can be deleted completely without any impact.

Hello @v-janeyg-msft ,

 

Thank you for this. I see that your file has a better and easier way of calculating the Normal Distribution.

 

The thing that confuses me is that when should I use the Normal Distribution :

  • When there are only few data available like on the sample that I gave?
  • Is it also applicable on around 2k data? (this is the one that I am working on)

 

Sorry if this is not clear, I am helping on a project which we are unable to tell if we should follow the normal distribution formula.

 

Edit : On your file with the formula of Normal Distribution, may I know why did you multiply it by 1000?

Many Thanks!

Hi, @Anonymous 

 

I'm not clear what your data looks like.In my opinion,You need to have a set of data and calculate their average and variance to get a normal distribution graph,then you can predict the location and probability of the data.
The more data, the more accurate the result should be.As for the other, I don't know much and sorry I am just a PBI technical engineer.
