Default Excel Charts

Hi, I use the chart function mainly to plot math graphs.
Is there a way of getting the Y axis to cross the x axis at an x value
rather than a catagory number?

Use an XY chart instead of a line chart. Especially for mathematical charts.
An XY chart treats both X and Y as continuously variable values, while a
line chart treats the X values as non-numeric labels. You can format the
data points in either type of chart the same way, with or without markers,
with or without lines.
