[Solution] 3D charts where all variables are in columns?

3D charts where all variables are in columns?

It seems that the standard way of creating a 3D surface plot is to list the range of one independent variable (X) in a COLUMN (say, "A"), and list the range of the 2nd independent variable (Y) in a ROW (say, "1"), then populate the one-and-only dependent
variable (Z) in the resulting matrix of cells ("B2" thru "D5", or whatever).
 
Is there a way of creating this same 3D surface plot, but by deriving it from a table of data where the X & Y independent variables are in COLUMNS A & B, and the dependent variable (Z) is also in a COLUMN (namely column C)? I've tried copy-n-pasting data
organized like that into a 3D surface plot, but the result is garbage, and I haven't stumbled across a way to "tell" the chart where my independent & dependent variables are.
 
Can this be done in Excel 2007 (my current version)? If not, can it be done in whatever the state-of-the-art Excel version is?
 
 
 

If this can be made to work, I might ultimately try to expand this into a case where I have ~3 surface plots on one graph (3 dependent variables (Z1, Z2, Z3) in COLUMNS C, D, and E) .
.
.
.
but that's a stretch and might be too busy, visually.
