Set automatic axis limits for bar chart without defaulting to zero

Set automatic axis limits for bar chart without defaulting to zero

I am building a bar chart in Excel with data values ranging from, e.g., 10 to 20. I want the x-axis limits to be automatic, but although the right limit (near 20) works correctly, the left limit always defaults to 0.

"I don't think it can be done without making it Fixed. You cannot change the results of Auto value since it is using a built-in algorithm of Excel. For those who would like to know how to change the Fixed values:

Click on the X axis, then right-click and select Format Axis. On the Axis Options tab, change the Maximum and Minimum values from Auto to desired Fixed values."
