title: Excel 2003 XYZ Surface Chart like XY Line Chart
body: <p>I have a grid of of values in Excel 2003 that form a surface.  </p>
  
  <p>Simplified example</p>
  
  <pre><code>Day 1   2   3   5
  ==================
  1   0   0   2   1
  2   0   2   3   0
  3   0   0   1   0
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In the column headings 4 is missing because there are no entries for 4 (i.e. all data is zero).</p>
  
  <p>When I come to try and plot this as a surface chart in Excel 2003 it plots <code>1,2,3,5</code> as though they were series names and the same distance apart which distorts the surface (i.e. treats them as a category axis not a value axis)</p>
  
  <p>Is there anyway to get excel to produce what amounts to an <code>xyz</code> value axis surface chart?</p>
  
  <p>P.S. In the real data its not feasible to fill in the missing column numbers.</p>
