How to make normal distributions which can apply slicers

Hello,

 

I have a dataset with parameters such as..

-Project Type

-Material

-Test Method

 

and the only output i care about is "Test Result", which is numerical.

 

I am trying to create normal distributions in Power BI and have been following a youtube video from 2018 entitled "Normal Distribution (Gauss Curve) in Power BI (Part I)"  

 

So far what I have done is.. 

-Created new measure "Mean" which outputs the mean of the test result.

-Created new measure "Standard Dev." which outputs the standard deviation of the test result.

-Created new measures "X-3σ" and "X+3σ" for range of confidence.

 

Using these new measures, i added a slicer for each of the following:

-Project Type

-Material Name

-Test Method

 

Using the slicers, i can easily view any combination of project type/material name/test method and see the numerical output. 

 

I wish to also be able to visualize this data in normal distribution, with the slicers i select applying to the plot.  Does anyone have an idea how i might do this?  Following the youtube video-i first run into trouble when creating a new table, as the test result values displayed in the new table to not match actual test results.  The formula he used to create normal distribution table is 

 
NORMAL DISTRIBUTION =
VAR MinValue=floor([X-3σ],3)
VAR MaxValue=CEILING([X+3σ],3)
RETURN
SELECTCOLUMNS(CALENDAR(MinValue,MaxValue),"X",INT([Date]))

 

Any help is appreciated!!

 

Thank you.
