Upside down graph

[Russell Collins]

Is there a way to to create an upside down graph.
Ie the Y axis top is 0.
I run my business with stats and I always indicate an upward trend as positive.
In other words the number faulty items in our shop ideally is 0 and more than that is not.

I have a graphing program called "Management by statistics" that easily creates an upside down version, it also has an auto scaling function to enable the right amount of zooming of the data I need.

Any ideas would be much appreciated

What kind of graph? bar graph? line graph? I don' think you can get a bar graph to drop down from the top, but you may be able to flip the way the values are displayed. It might be as easy as multiplying everything by -1 while graphing and then making sure to remove the "-" when displaying the label.

Sorry should have mentioned that before, Line graph.

So I think if you multiply all of your numbers by -1 it will give you the graph you want. Then the task will be to make the labels not show the "-", which you would have to play with. You could always remove the labels entirely, or live with the negative values.
