    Need a way to be able to invert the y-axis without fudging data to make it work.

    The option to invert the Y axis exists today within the Format settings.

    There is an alternative solution idea. This solution can also be applied to the X axis.
    1)Multiply the original number by -1 to create a new measure
    2)Apply a "custom" format. For example, -#;#;0

    This is useful for plotting empirical cumulative distribution functions.

    This is very, very useful in subsurface applications like oil and gas, ice cores, and oceanography, where positive depth values are often deeper under the surface.
