Hello Gene,
If you can plot it manually we expect to be able to do it in Excel. But you
are asking a lot of this group - you have not told us what to plot. Are you
thinking of the Michaelis Menten equation? Or is it some other function of
[S] that needs to be worked out?
We would love to help but need more info
