I need URGENT Excel help

Hi all.
I need to draw a surface chart in excel, but I'd like to achieve 3 different layer in THE SAME chart. Basically I'm trying to show 3 sets of data on the same chart. Is there a way to do this?
I've been googling but can't find any help.

Thanks

 

I'm not quite sure of what you're asking. An example data set would probably help clarify the specifics.

Here is an example picture of what I want to achieve.
I don't know if Excel can do this...

 

I'm not sure that Excel can properly handle three dimensions of information.

But, perhaps this might be of use:

Thanks for the info...
it looks that I'm gonna have to make several charts, one set of data each

 

Do you have to use excel? There are some progs out there that make 3D charts/graphs.

This is specifically for excel-

Hello,
Excel can handle them. But even better, try OpenOffice.
But if you want 3D graphs, I suggest you try FreeMat.
