The easiest and quickest way would be to reorganize the data as in:
Means
1 12.1
1 13.1
1 14.1
1 12.1
2 15.2
2 16.3
2 18.2
2 11.2
2 13.3
3 12.1
3 13.1
3 16.3
3 18.2
3 11.2
Once done, on the chart, double-click the plotted column. In the
resulting dialog box, from the Options tab, set the Gap Width to zero.
And, no, you don't have to reorganize your original dataset. Use a
copy.
