Thanks! Werner, the chart is starting to look very good.

Now, I need to define the range of left axis. By default it starts on 0 
(bottom left) and ends in the highest value of my data. How can I change 
the starting value, to the minimum value of the data source?.

Currently all the data poins are displayed at the top part of the chart, 
and from 0 to 70 is empty.
