Alternatively, you can keep the axis at zero, but put the labels at the
bottom. Double click the axis or labels to format the axis. On the
bottom-right of the patterns tab, choose Low for the labels.

Select the y-axis. On the menu, select Format | Selected axis | Scale tab.
In the box labeled Category (X) axis crosses at:, enter the minimum value of
the y-axis.

Tip: If your y-axis goes from -10 to +10, you can enter -100000 in the
aforementioned box. Now if your data changes and your minimum value is -25,
your x-axis remains at the bottom.
