I am not sure what to call the type of chart I want to create, which has made it very difficult to find any solutions via searches. I am hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.

I have data in the following format:
Book3
ABCDE
22ItemTypeBrandSizePrice
23Item1Type_ABrand 18$499
24Item2Type_ABrand 28$99
25Item3Type_ABrand 38$99
26Item4Type_ABrand 29$99
27Item5Type_ABrand 39$199
28Item6Type_ABrand 110$599
29Item7Type_ABrand 210$99
30Item8Type_BBrand 18$499
31Item9Type_BBrand 39$299
32Item10Type_BBrand 110$599
33Item11Type CBrand 18$499
34Item12Type CBrand 28$299
35Item13Type_CBrand 38$399
36Item14Type_CBrand 29$299
37Item15Type_CBrand 39$499
38Item16Type_CBrand 110$599
39Item17Type_CBrand 210$299
40Item18Type_CBrand 310$599
Sheet1


And I would like to create a chart similar to the one I drew by hand below.
I want to plot all of the items by size (x-axis) and price (y-axis), and I want the x-axis grouped by type.
And it is important that I be able to identify the Item# by hovering or clicking on any particular point (I can't label all of the points because the graph will become illegible).

What would you call this type of chart? Can it be made in excel? Any other solutions? It doesn't seem much more complex than a standard scatterplot, but I cant figure it out.
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
The only pseudo solution I have found is to rearrange the data like below, and then create a separate chart for each type. But I have a few issues with this:
  1. I cannot identify item# from the points
  2. Creating and maintaining the multiple chats would be very cumbersome as I play with the different data sets I have
  3. If 2 items share the same size, type, and price they cannot be identified
