3D charts
3D charts
(OP)
I'm an Excel novice.
I have velocity and mass flow data taken across various sections of pipes.
I'd like to chart the results with a bar graph with the X axis wound into a circle.
I've Searched for Excel plug-ins and stand-alone free/shareware/commercial software to accomplish this with no success. I found plenty of programs to make bars of stacked footballs, fish or clown heads.
My best solution to date is make parametric CAD model with blocks in a circular array and extrude the block heights proportional to the test values. It's actually pretty quick.
Am I overlooking a simpler solution?
thanks,
Dan T

I think it would be cumbersome.

Convert your radial coordinates to (X,Y)s
Place the Xs as column headers, the Y as row headers and the velocity values in the corresponding cells.
Plot using the standard surface chart.
