Hello
I would like to draw a parbola in Excel.
I don't know Excel, nor the corresponding equation.
Thank you for your answers.

I don't think you can "trace" a curve on excel. At most, you can draw a scatter plot by multiplying the lines to refine the curve. In the first column, enter x 's and in the second column (y) enter the equation of your curve : =POWER(A2; 2). From these values you can get a graph.
If you really want to plot this parabola, the solution may be a math-oriented software like GeoGebra or maybe Mathlab.
What use do you want to make of this curve?

Clarifications for those who read this question and do not understand everything:
@David actually want to replicate that shape in real life.
The proposed solution is therefore, rather than going through Excel for nothing, to draw the shape (on SpaceClaim or other) and to make a drawing with successive sections.
These sections will give curves that must then be dimensioned (dimensioning several points on the curve).
In the case of @David, it is to transfer these dimensions to plywood to create the counterform.
For those who would have to do this kind of thing in mechanics, it is possible to recover the curves to make a laser cut sheet metal template .
To tinker and in reasonable sizes, you could also print the sections on a plotter.
It is an "ancestral" technique notably used by sheet metal formers in the automobile industry of the 20s and 30s and still used in some advanced fields: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZNFsbDDOPs !
Otherwise when I see the play,
The command exists as standard even if by default it is not in the toolbar

Edit: Oops I hadn't seen on SpaceClaim
