I have a table of data as follows:
X Y ZN1 2 5 6N2 2 7 8N3 0 1 2N4 0 4 5N5 9 10 10N6 4 9 9N7 0 2 4N8 0 7 8N9 0 7 8
Now I would like to make a 3D-chart, whose 3 axes are
X
,Y
andZ
. For each axe, the labels are0, 1, 2, 3, ..., 10
. So at place(2,5,6)
, I want to have a point labelledN1
; at place(2,7,8)
, I want to have a point labelledN2
… Finally there are 9 points in the chart.Do you think it is realizable in Excel?
Solution:
This is only a partial solution. What you want may be outside the ability of Excel. Perhaps look into Mathmatica for more advanced 3-D graphing solutions.
If you create a grid, X horizontally, Z vertically, you can type the Y values in the cells.
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10012 1345 46 578 79 910 10
Select it all and create a 3-D Cylinder chart. Your result will be like this. It’s missing labels, and (0,4,2). You can add the labels manually.
