This allows XYZ Mesh to accurately calculate how many cells are between each value and generate a calculation for the theoretical element that is missing. XYZ Mesh comes with an automatic curve algorithm used to calculate all values in proximity to one specific cell. Currently (at the release of this article) XYZ Mesh is the only application that will curve XYZ data into a completed MESH format for Microsoft Excel graphing. If this sounds complicated that is because it is, that is unless you have a conversion tool that does it for you. The only way to fix this is to send the data through a conversation process to curve empty values around known data points. Having this means that Excel believes these are data points and not empty values. The blank areas around the Z values in the MESH format are automatically assumed to be zero. Once transposed some of the data is left blank which results in a very jagged looking Surface Graph if plotted. Needless to say that if you copy and paste the data into a preexisting document you will have to graph the data manually.
Once exported into Excel, XYZ Mesh will take the next step for you and graph your data. What this means is once the data is convert it’s possible to export the data directly into a new Excel document or copy and paste it into a preexisting one. It is the only program available that exports all converted data into Excel’s native formats. XYZ Mesh is a program used to generate 3D data and images from XYZ or MESH inputs. The method I used in the above image was from a program called XYZ Mesh. However these formulas are quite long and complicated for the average user (myself included) to use on a daily basis. The blog also has tutorials and example sheets that can be found here: Excel Unusual. There is an active blog that uses such algorithms in formulas to generate many interested graphs inside Excel. Using this data inside an algorithm makes it possible to generate a 3D image. In other words, it is like you are viewing the object from the top (XY), front (ZX) or the right (YZ). The only difference is that one of the Axis is not being shown.
Most people already know this, but few realize this concept of showing a 3D object also stands true for 2D objects. X being your width, Y as your height and Z as your depth. What you need to first realize is that a 3D object consists of 3 planes. However by combining the 2D mediums you can generate a 3D object. All these methods alone will only allow you to graph two sets of data, or in other words, 2D. Line graphs, bar graphs and even scatter charts. XYZ data can be graphed in many different ways using 2D methods.

In this post I will be sharing both methods and show you how to visually improve your XYZ data with 3D Surface and Wireframe graphs. So how then do people graph XYZ data in 3D with surface or wireline graphs? Actually there are a couple methods, one that is time consuming and tedious while the other is quick and painless. If you have tried to take X Y Z data and graph it three dimensionally inside of Microsoft Excel then you know that Excel’s graphing capabilities are quite limited. How to Graph XYZ Data into MESH Inside Microsoft Excel This new post covers more methods on plotting XYZ values in 3D inside Excel and explains how to with and without third-party applications. There is still great information in this post, however we have recently updated this information into a new post, How to graph XYZ data in 3D inside Excel.
