Default How do I plot a line chart in 3 dimensions (x,y,z)?

Hello All, I wish to plot a scatter graph in Excel and join the points with a
smooth line. However I wish to do it using three variables (x,y and z axes)
as opposed to the simple 2D x and y axes I can easily use on excel?? Is
there a way to do this in excel??

Yours Hopefully,

Kev.

Hi,

You can fake it using trig.
