I have a 3D Surface Map. The X an Y axis are labeled 1 to 12 and S1
to
S12. Is there a way to repalce these labels with something more
relivant? Thanks in advance...

Please don't cross post in different forums.
Here is the reply I posted in the excel forum.

Hi,

If the series has a name value it will be outputted instead of the
default S1,S2 etc.

Right click chart and pick Source Data. On the series tab enter text or
cell reference for Name.

Cheers
Andy

If you begin with the data properly set up, Excel will use what you want for
axis labels. Put one set of axis values along the top of the data (first
row) and the other along the left side (first column). Keep the top left
cell blank. The data should look like this:

    X1   X2   X3
Y1  Z11  Z12  Z13
Y2  Z21  Z22  Z23
Y3  Z31  Z32  Z33

Excel will use X1, X2, X3 for one set of labels, and Y1, Y2, Y3 for the
other.

Thanks a million John, I did not think that was possible. I tried it
that way long ago with the data along the bottom. Beautiful.
