Grouping Excel graph categories

Solution 1:

Short answer is to create 3 different series of data.

Sample (not yours but enough to hopefully get you started)

column    A    B    C
Data 1    1
Data 2    2
Data 3    3
Data 4         2
Data 5         3
Data 6         4
Data 7              3
Data 8              4
Data 9              5

Now you can color the series' different colors, and not have to color each individual point.
