Hi, please help. I'm not sure if this is even possible.
I am trying to create an "S Curve" chart as a predicted forecast. The only data I have is Years to go on the X Axis and "Start / Finish" values for the Y Axis.

Many thanks, Simon

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
I don't know at all if this is what you need. This is a normal distribution. The standard deviation has to be in there somewhere, so I put in a "Standard Deviation Factor" which changes the S-iness of the output.
