    3-variable Nomograph

    Is it possible to create a 3-variable nomograph in Excel? For example, if I wanted to create a chart where I could determine the height of water sloshing in an earthquake, I would like to assign the variable "Diameter" to the x-axis, the variable "Water Depth" to the y-axis, and the variable "Slosh Height" to the secondary y-axis (on the right side of the chart). The "Slosh Height" variable is a function of the first two variables.

    With this chart, some one could trace any "diameter" vertical and a corresponding "water depth" horizontal until it intersected a curve. At this intersection, if you were to trace horizontal to the right you would find the corresponding "slosh height" on the secondary y-axis for the "Diameter" and "Water depth."

    I believe this is called a Nomograph, or a parametric function.

    Thanks.
