Greetings,

I have been wondering about this for some time. I'm doing a lot of
work with probability and statistical distributions these days, and
many of the classes or types of distributions have different parameters
which characterize them. For example, standard distributions tend to
have a (mu, sigma) which defines the familiar bell curve. My question
is, is there a way to enter those two numbers (or function
characteristics of any number) and have Excel autogenerate the the
row/column data from which a bell curve can be automatically drawn on a
subsequent chart? By this I mean, I'd like to not have to manually
have a column which uses a function to calculate the values at that
point and copy the function to every cell yielding a new F(x) -- I want
Excel to be able to take my numbers and blam! fill in the columns for
me. Also, I'd like to be able to add a checkbox for the user to select
either discrete or continuous, and have the chart draw itself
accordingly (i.e. either discrete, integral vertical lines forming a
curve shape, or an actual curve like what you'd find on a "non-pointed"
scatter chart). Thanks.

Mike
