Apple charts: How do I maintain the display of zero values

I am creating a presentation using critical statistics in Apple numbers generating a bar chart and then inserting that data into Keynote. For whatever reason, the display of the charts are inconsistent, despite sharing similar information. The issue is when displaying a scale of 1-180, some include a zero figure on the numeric scale, whilst others will show a summarised scale of say 150- 180 which clearly shows an inaccurate visual representation. How can I maintain the 0-180 numeric scale?

Thank you for your advice.

I can't replicate the problem (or, TBH, quite visualize it, either).


Ordinarily, bar charts have their floor at 0, unless there's a negative value in the series, in which case it scales to accommodate that.


I can't replicate a case where I copy a chart from Numbers into Keynote and it changes (in fact, I kinda like the fact it copies through as-is). If that's not happening for you then I have to assume there's something in the data or the setup that's causing this, and I can't see that.
