From within the chart use the "scale" option. set minimum to 150?? or what
ever you want instead of auto.

Hi,

If you have let Excel do most of the work in setting up the chart, then hold
the mouse pointer over the axis you want to change and right-click. Choose
the option Format Axis. In the dialog box which appears select the second
page headed Scale. First remove the ticks in the auto boxes particularly
for Minimum and Maximum values. Put in the max and min values you want and
click ok. Play around with the other values if you wish too.

Regards

Paul

Right-click the axis; select Format Axis; then set your minimum amount manually
instead of "automatic".
