Hi @Arul ,

It can establish a contrast relationship between the data frequency distribution histogram and the normal distribution data determined by the average value and standard deviation of the data. Figure shows the frequency histogram of the data. The curve is a normal distribution curve determined by the average and standard deviation of the data. In this way, we can know the quality of the data.

NORM.DIST returns the normal distribution for the specified mean and standard deviation.

Syntax:
      NORM.DIST(X, Mean, Standard_dev, Cumulative)

X: The value for which you want the distribution.
Mean: The arithmetic mean of the distribution.
Standard_dev: The standard deviation of the distribution.
Cumulative*: A logical value that determines the form of the function. If cumulative is TRUE, NORM.DIST returns the cumulative distribution function; if FALSE, it returns the probability density function.
