I have send a mail to IA support and the response that I got was:  
You can “group” the bars together in the bar chart by adding a blank series either side of the series that actually show data, and then setting the values to 0 and setting `hiddenInLegend` to `true` so they do not show up in the legend. You only have to set the values in one set of your data sources, as shown below:

Once you add these blank values to your list of series, you should get something that looks like this:

It’s not exactly like in the example you sent me, but it’s fairly close. If you want to remove the white space between the bars in each group, just change `width` under the `appearance` section for each series.
