How to create a one dimensional distribution chart in excel
I have a set of data that I would like to benchmark against a distribution set that I do not have access to. I know what the 10th, 50th, and 90th percentile numbers are. In this case 10th-5,218; 50th-8,182; 90th-11,283. The numbers I want to place visually on a chart along a horizontal plane are 1-14,263; 2-12,294; 3-9,444; 4-9,866. I would like the chart to look like the one in the photo attached:
