Plot bar chart with log scale on y axis

Hello there,
I want to plot a group bar chart with differences about 10^-4 within the data, positiv and negativ. So the problem is, either I get a bar chart where just the big values are visible and the small ones disappear, or there is some trouble about plotting negative/postitiv data on a log scale.
I tried to add
set(axes1,'YScale','log')
in my code, but it doesn't work as expected, and i dont know which other options i got.

Logarithmic scales don't play nice with mixing signs, so it is not entirely clear what you want as an end result. So can you try making an example in something like paint?

There are some good thoughts on how to handle this problem in response to this question. In particular, the accepted answer by Matt Tearle seems very useful.
You'll need to adapt to bar chart, but the concept is the same.
Notice that they are doing the log transformation on the X axis, not the Y.
