Excel Chart Contours should be smooth as done in surveying.
The countours plotted are very coarse and with lot of kinks.
In actual survery contour plotting based on levels at regular grids,
contours are plotted smoothly and represent physical features of ground.

Excel has to use some kind of interpolating algorithm and draw the contours.
