How can I set multiple bars in a bar graph to the same X-value?

📊 Plotly Python

The task I am trying to accomplish seems counter-intuitive, but I need to do it.
I am leveraging Plotly’s capabilities to make some Python scripts that generates offline graphs given some CSV data, which I parse and input to Plotly. I am doing this because the person I am doing this for wants better-looking and more interactive graphs than the rudimentary graphs typically generated via matplotlib. One of the tasks can require me to create a grouped bar graph, in which each group has three bars to every x-value. In other words, at least three bars of the bar graph need to share the same x-value. That doesn’t make sense in actual graphing, but in matplotlib, it just shows the three bars all surrounding the one x-value - not stacked up on one another, which would not look right at all. Is it at all possible for me to accomplish this in plotly?

This should be what you’re looking for: https://plot.ly/python/bar-charts/#grouped-bar-chart

That doesn’t do what I want - I can’t set the same group to have two bars at one x-value.

Could really use this! Yankev’s answer is not correct
