    Y-Axis with Absolute value

    High all,

    I have a question about a custom number for the axis of a chart: is it possible to have negative values but have an absolute number on the y-axis?

    Example, currently my distribution runs:
    30%
    20%
    10%
    0%
    -10%
    -20%
    etc.

    But, for the data I'm presenting this is not strictly accurate, and I'd prefer to have it run in both directions from 0% as positive values:
    20%
    10%
    0%
    10%
    20%

    Possible?
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Cheers

    Format the axis as 0%;0%
