Here are the step by step instructions to apply conditional coloring to scatter plot in Google Sheets. Here in the below example (please see the image below), the numeric coordinates along the X-axis are the “Hours” and the numeric coordinates along the Y-axis are the “Wind Km/h”.

The scatter plots show numeric coordinates along the “X” and “Y” axes. We normally use a scatter plot to show how much one variable is affected by another.

How to Apply Conditional Coloring to Scatter Plot in Google Sheets You will get more details of how to conditionally color scatter plot from the two examples below. This put a restriction that we can only draw trendlines based on groups not based on the entire series on the Y-axis. Though the first workaround supports the trendline, it will be based on the grouping of data points.įor conditional coloring scatter plot in Google Sheets, we must group the series and then move the series to different columns based on the group. The bubble chart won’t allow you to draw a trendline on the chart. The first workaround is using the scatter plot itself and the second workaround is using the bubble chart.Įven though the second workaround is simple to implement and the plotted chart will look similar to a scatter plot, it has a drawback. Here in this post, to solve the above-mentioned chart issue, you can find two workarounds based on re-formatting the chart source data. But for conditional coloring the data points in the scatter plot, there is no built-in option in Google Sheets. We can individually change the colors of the data points (the colors of the dots) in the scatter chart/plot in Google Sheets.
