Hi!

I know there must be a simple way to do this but I can't find it 🙁

How can I set the Y axis of my Bar Chart to start from zero? I guess it is somewhere in the "Format Axis" panel but I can't see it!

Thanks for the fast reply, but I thought this was for the X axis - Anyway it won't accept 0, the date returns......

I believe you clicked on the wrong axis.

Click on the axis below your chart (not the one on the left)
