Excel cannot make 3d scatter charts, only 'Line" charts in which the values
on the 3 axes are categories not true numeric values
Add-ins (SigmaPlot, for example) can be used to get what you want
best wishes

Excel 2007 3D PivotChart
In case you don't have $749 for SigmaPlot,
here is a 3D spiral with balls.

Hi,

You can use formula to calculate 3d position for plotting in 2d.
