Default Shifting Data Points

You have to add the same small amount to each X value in the series source
data range. The easiest way to do this is by putting the small amount in
another cell, then use a formula in each cell in the X value range that adds
this cell's value to whatever was in the X value cell. This way, if you want
to adjust the offset, you can just change the value in the one cell.
