Excel does offer exponential curve fitting using the LOGEST() function.
See the Excel function reference manual for details.  If you need
logarithmic or power curve fitting, then Excel can't help.

Another package that provides a full menu of curve fitting tools is
Harvard Graphics.  The curve fitting is, however, limited to  two
dimensions.
