Help ... Chart stuff

A leeetle help please.. if you may

Does anyone know of, or used any software that can take a 2D chart (like those in Exel) and transform it into circular form, to place on a wheel 'slider'.

Someone has done this before with an AOB calculator of sorts. I'd like to do the same thing with a different type of chart.

Thanks for any help

I would also be interested in knowing the answer to this. I never thought of using excel as a way to make whiz-wheels.

Exel is just an example. I like to get hold of (buy) 'anything' that can take input data and punch out a 'configurable' wheel.

I can do it manually, but it so much 'hard labour'.

There is software that will allow you to "make" circular slide rules but they use the standard set of scales. I have not been able to find one that will allow you to "custom" make an individual scale... But I am lookin

Ja... I've worn my pc out looking for this...
I think I have to photoshop it and transform it into a circle - never done this before, and not sure how...
