I want to create a scatterplot in Google sheets with multiple datasets, and yet still be able to add data labels for each data point. Additionally, it's two independent axis, which means some X values will have multiple Y values.

Example sheet: This sheet is almost what I want, except I want data labels to show up beside each point and I also want to do multiple different color datasets on the same plot. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EZ78WNVvvpggP8L52H-yuh-ICJEkd9XCOrX752nHw1I/edit?usp=sharing

  • @MARKMYANSWER I added an example sheet. It's almost what I want, except I want data labels to show up beside each point and I also want to do multiple different colour datasets on the same plot. Does that make sense? Let me know if you need any more info. Commented Feb 11, 2019 at 16:32

If by "add data labels for each data point" you mean "adding labels from A column to each individual point" - then that is not possible. you can add only values as a label for each data point.

As for "two independent axis" - this can be easily achieved by adding new series from another column. All the above would look like:

From there you can add trendlines or customize each individual data point by changing color, size and shape:

If you will re-shape your table a bit you could do this:

Of course, if you really want so you could add custom label per each data point manually by inserting a drawing:
