Default Building 3 axis chart.

The tertiary axis is not a third orthogonal axis, and in general it's not
very effective in terms of understanding the data.

That can be said about 3D charts, as well: in general they are not very
effective in terms of presenting understandable data.

Excel has no native 3D x-y-z charts, and any renderings of 3D objects on a
2D medium (paper or computer screen) is going to be difficult to read
accurately.

I am trying to build a chart that has 3 axis. Such as x-axis, y-axis,
z-axis.

I want to put 3 different data for these 3 axis; such as: time data,
profit
data, phone call data.

Could anyone tell me how to do it?

Thanks in advance,
