Thread: Can you change the intercept of the X-axis to a non-zero value?

Mathematically it sounds stupid, but anyway:

I have a simple time series plotting economic growth rates against time. In
1998 the growth rate for the country in question is negative, so the line
graph drops below the X-axis, to -6.7%.

The X-axis now goes straight through the graph, which is pretty unsightly.
Is there a way I could move the X-axis down to Y=-8% for example?

Format the axis and change the value of Crossing At
