Wireframe Contour Chart In Excel

3-D Surface chart shows a 3-D view of the data, which can be imagined as a rubber sheet stretched over a 3-D Column chart.

It is typically used to show relationships between large amounts of data that may otherwise be difficult to see.

Now let us change it to the wireframe 3-d chart:
