help for data interpolation
 
I have data like this.matrix x,y and z.They can be plot to get a 3D surface.But, the data is only 8X7 matrix.I need to interpolate so that these there matrix become 80X70.How can I do the interpolation?Do anyone know?
Thanks!

but,in the data that I showed, z is not a function of x and y.How should I interpolate it then?Do anyone know?
Thanks.

I'm confused as to how each of your matrices are structured, so I can only point you to some Excel tools:
