Help creating 3D graphs with x, y, z

[surc6]

Hi all. I need help to create a 3D visualization of a graph based on x, y, z. I have around 12000 rows of data and about 18 columns. Each row and column contains numbers that I would like to create a 3D graph for to display my data and easily send it to other people. All of these numbers are based on say, temperature, dew point and percipitation, being my x, y, z. Anyone have any ideas on how I can accomplish this easily without having to put weeks of work into it? I am definately open to add-ins on the topic as well, providing they are reasonably priced.

Excel has very limited support for 3D graphs -- specifically, surface charts. It you want something nicer than that, you'll need a scientific charting utility.
