Contours
Contours
(OP)
Is there any method or add-in avaliable that can do contour plots of discrete geophysical data. The surface plot available in excel isn't much good as far as I can see unless you assume your 2D geometry can be transposed into neat integer rows and columns that hold the value of the Z variable. I've seen other software that can do contours of data but it would be preferable if something was available that could be run from within excel.

RE: Contours
If you are adventurous and not afraid to leave MS Excel, there is R software that has several packages (libraries) that deal with geophysical data. The URLs are:
http://www.r-project.org/
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/packages/PBSmapping.pdf
You could use their search facility to get more details.
