About Chart Axis Ranges

By default, charts include the zero axis even if there are no values close to zero. This can
leave a lot of white space in your chart.

To minimize whitespace, you can manually set ranges for your values, or you can let the
system dynamically set the minimum and maximum values.

Example
The bubble chart Y and X axis intersect at 0, but your data starts at 50 million on one axis
and 0.05 million on the other. Even with scaling, there is still some unused space near the
intersection. By changing the axis minimum value, you can eliminate more of that empty
space.
You can set the axis range for multiple chart types.
Manually or Dynamically Set Axis Ranges
