How to distribute a value X over Y periods to make it follow a normal distribution ?
Example:
I have a value 16.77% and want to distribute over 36 months in normal distribution such that the peak is between 18th and 19th months.
I need to find out the value at each month such that the distributed value increases as it moves from month 1 to 18th and then decreases from 19th to 36th month.
Also, I need to have the value (X) and period(Y) as variables.

You cannot. The normal distribution is infinite in both directions but you want all of the value to be distributed over a finite range.
Perhaps we could interest you in a Beta distribution instead?

Thanks. Let me check if Beta distribution suits my purpose.
