Creating 3D waterfall graph with external data from excel
Hello!
I want to creating a 3D waterfall graph with data from an excel document, but the result is not as expected. I create a labview program to take data from different excel sheets. Each sheet contains data for x, y and z axis for one measurement. I want to display data from five measurements to one single graph like in the attached image. How need i proceed?
Sorry for my english and thanks for the help!
Hi,
I put that header to show you what those data means. Before i run the program i delete that header because is not numerical format. After running the program it gives me this representation of data like in the picture and i don't know where i am wrong...
I remove the frequency data for Z axis because the program gives me a straight line if i let them there. I want to display mutiple trends on a single 3D graph like in the first picture.
your excel file is not clear at all:
how many waveforms does it contain? 5? 1?
e.g. one waveform with 6400 datapoints defined with three dimensions x,y,z?
A waterfall graph is just displaying several waveforms together like this ...

The excel contain one waveform with three dimensions x,y,z. Each sheet from excel contain datapoints for x, y and z axis. First sheet contains data for Z axis, next sheet for Y axis and the last one for X axis.
I'd start to simplify the data.xlx to a csv gathered onto one page...
the x,y,z datapoints of one waveform will be scatter around the xyz volume if you interpret those columns as vectors

how is your 3d data supposed to line up in a 1d waveform? along which axis?
what is a trend supposed to be?
