That is strange. Polar charts are not rocket science. I have an add-in
similar to Andy's and a tutorial on parametric charts, neither of which
I have got around to putting on my web site. But, bottom line, mapping
(x,y) or (x,y,z) to (r,theta) or (r,theta,phi) uses basic rules of trig
established a long time ago.

Thanks Andy
I was going to try that.. will contact you on your home page if I end
up using your bits of your code. Interested in a project to add to
your selection... ....Limited clientele but As I found out in the

Hi Ralph,

The addin only makes it easier by generating the x and y values and
creating the chart with appropriate series. The addin is not locked so
you can see how I have done things and maybe transfer the code into cell
formula.

Cheers
Andy

Hello

How can I make a polar chart? Seems like such a fundamental object
yet virtually impossible in MS Excel..

any ideas...examples ... help
Thank you
Ralph


Thank you.. have that one.. My concern is that "if" I use an add-in
then I will have to add that to all the computers that may end up
using this.. Would prefer to stay with a native Excel
