Hi,
It is not built in. You will have to use formula to convert them.
I have an addin that may make things easier. The page also includes some
links to alternative solutions.

I need to plot equations expressed in (r, theta) coordinates, WITHOUT first
converting them to Cartesion (x,y) coordinates. Can anyone advise if Excel
has this capability - if so, I certainly have not been able to find
it!.....Thanx

Hi Andy - thanx for the reply - but I still have some questions...
I gather that there is no built in Excel polar coordinate plot capabilty -
you mention that a conversion formula is necessary - are you say that the (r,
theta) point must first be converted to x,y coordiantes, and then plotted?
Or let me ask it another way - how did you generate the underlying polar
coordinate grid ?
