I'm doing this from memory since I don't have Excel at home.

  1. Double click on graph
  2. Double click on x-axis
  3. On the Scale tab, have the y-axis cross the x-axis at 0.1.
  4. Click OK

    I usually just use an arbitrarily small crossing values (1e-9) as then the y axis will always stay at the left.

Left click on Horizontal axis; right click and select "Format Axis...". In the options for "Vertical axis crosses" select "Axis value" and enter the horizontal axis value you want the vertical axis to be positioned at.
