There is QuickFigure Pro, which costs money, and there is the
QuickFigureWorks module for NewtonWorks, that is free, but is a stripped
down version of QFPro. QFWorks can import and export spreadsheets to Excel,
depending on the version of Excel you're using.

You can grab the NewtonWorks modules from my web site at
