Tableau convert measure to dimension

I am trying to emulate the normal bell curve in tableau

Created all the variables, and they are proper. But Rating Bin in my workbook is not Dimension like Profit Bin in other workbook, and that is making it difficult to plot

Curve vs Rating Bin

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I just wanted to create normal distribution curve from location average ratings

Update

Unable to drag Rating Bin from Measures to Dimensions

Update 2

These are options when I right-click

You should be able to drag the Rating Bin out of the Measures pane and drop it into the DImensions pane, and then Tableau will treat it as a dimension. (This will not work if your data source is an OLAP cube.) – Hellion
@Hellion I am unable to drag from Measures to Dimensions. I tried converting to continuous. And when I attempt to drag, it shows `ATTR(Rating Bin), but I am unable to drop. I updated original question – Rhonda
@Hellion Data source is Excel spreadsheet – Rhonda

I don't know which version of Tableau you are using, but in my version, I can right click on the variable and select "Convert to dimension" from the pop up menu. You should be able to do this, if not drag the field from measure to dimension.
