how to make overlapping bar graph on illustrator

I know how to make a stacked one, but that's not what I want. I need every bar to start from the same baseline.

Can you post a sketch that shows the desired result?

Sure.

This will probably break every time you edit it:

This version should not crock the graph when editing its data.

Thank you. You found a feasible workaround by moving one group of bars over the other.
