I have simple line graph. &nbsp;the vertical axis is a list of dates and the horizontal axis a list of values. &nbsp;Several of my staff use this graph and have no problems with it, but on this particular &nbsp;chart the dates (vertical axis) appear above the zero line. &nbsp;I'm assuming its got to be something in the formatting the staff member inadvertantly changed but I cannot figure out what she did.<br />

I have simple line graph.  the vertical axis is a list of dates and the horizontal axis a list of values.  Several of my staff use this graph and have no problems with it, but on this particular  chart the dates (vertical axis) appear above the zero line.  I'm assuming its got to be something in the formatting the staff member inadvertantly changed but I cannot figure out what she did.

I've attached PDF of the graph 

excel graph displays primary vertical axis above the zero line on the horizontal axis
