How do I make excel start with 0 instead of 1 for my x values?
 

I have a set of data and I am plotting population levels on the y axis and
time on the x axis. I want to start at time of zero with an initial
population. I can't figure out how to make excel start at 0 instead of 1.
My first data point is ( 1,y1) and it should be (0,y1) to be correct.

on your graph right click on the y-axis-- choose format
axis--scale--change the minmum to 0. hope it works.
regards,
Nikki
