First, what type of visual are you shooting for? Column chart (vertical columns) or a Bar chart (horizontal bars)?
Can you give us some sample data to view? Maybe some screenshots? And what end result are you looking for?
It happens on either chart but here is an example on a bar chart. It's literally only the y-axis that creates the problem, after switching the data the Y-axis creates some new value.
