Multiple Histograms (or bar graphs) on same chart?

I have been googling this to no avail: How can I put multiple histograms on a single chart without having all of the bins (i.e., the x-axis values) being the same?

This is easy to do with the XY Scatter Plot format (I mean letting all of the plots have their own range of X values), but I can't figure it out with bar charts. When I try to put multiple bar charts on the same plot to show a shift in the distribution, the plots are all forced to overlap in the same bin range.

I know one solution is to create a range of bins that covers all of the bin values for all of the distributions, and then only fill in the Y values for each plot in their correct bins. But is there a better way? The problem is described here too, but without a good resolution:

Thank you
