Default x,y,z plots - how?

Hi. I used to do tons of 3-D charts years ago in Excel
4. Excel 2000 won't seem to let me use 3 columns of value
data ... it forces 2 columns into categories. I'm trying
to plot a 3-D mathematical function's surface and choosing
the surface chart type does not work.
Any suggestions would be most helpful.

As far as I recall, XL has not changed how it (mis)handles 3D charts.
For a tutorial and a brief discussion of the limitations see the Excel
| Charts | 3D Surface page of my web site.
