Default Invert bar chart content but not the axes

Hi,

I have a bar chart where the lower scores are actually a better result.

i want to represent this in a graph by makign the lower scores appear with a
bigger bar and the higher scores with a smaller bar.

I have inverted the Y axis which has leasd to an upside down look to the bar
chart, want i believe i want to do is keep the Y axes thsi way but have the
bars start formt he bottom rather than the top.

Does anyone know of a way to do this?

Tom

Why not plot something like 10 - Score
With some work, you could have two axes : on with 10 - Score the other with
Score and you could hide the first
