Try custom formatting your axis values.

Double click a value on the axis, and format it accordingly as you would
normally do in Excel itself.

I have a chart with the x-axis labeled: 1000-2000, 10000-11000, 19000-20000,
2000-3000. Do you have any ideas on how to hold onto the preceding zeros so
it will list right?
