 Posted: 04/07/05 - 10:06 Post subject: Excel Question
How do you plot a 3-D bar graph?
I have a 2-D field with coordinates for each point. Each point has a temperature value. I want to have the field as the base of the graph with the temperatures as the bars.

I think I know, but I'm a visual person and I need to sit in front of it to be of any help. Is there a button called "Chart Type" you can click on when the chart is active and switch the chart type from the selections?

I don't have anything to email.  32 positions in an x-y plane with temperatures in a z plane. That's what I'm attempting to graph. I dunno. Thanks for helping.

Nope, trial and error mostly. Like most of what I do.

Oh that is SO En-ga-neer.....
Why follow the assembly instructions, when I can take four times longer to put it together, and have it looking nothing like the picture?
Why use the wizard, when I can waste 45 min getting simple plot points to make a bar graph...
Sheesh we are too much alike... 
I think it's an Engineer gene...
