In column A set up your X values, For example from -4 to +4. Increments of
0.1 should be OK.

In column B use the NORMDIST function like this

If you X values start at A1 then cell B1 should be

=NORMDIST(A1,0,1,FALSE)

Copy the formula down for all X values.

Produce chart on Column B and use Column A for X values
