I have three columns of values that I want to graph on an actual 3D (x-, y-, z-axis) chart. As far as I can find, Excel only offers 3D charts as a visual effect. Is there a way to graph 3D data, or does Excel really only have the capability to do 2D?

For system info, I'm running Excel:mac 2008 (ver 12.2.3) on Mac OS X (ver 10.6.2).

Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
Try the surface chart. The data for a surface chart must be laid out in a matrix of cells, with the Z values in the matrix. If you have a few points to graph and most of the X Y intersections have no data, this is not the chart for you.

Here's a miniature sample:
