I am having trouble understanding exactly what you have in mind.
Suppose the data set looks like this:

MyData       A  B   C   D
Monday       1  2   3   4
Tuesday      1  1   1   1
Wednesday    2  3   3   4
Thursday     1  2   4   3


You can place the weekday names along the x axis instead of the
numerical coordinates that would other be using to label the axis tickmarks,
and place the column headers in the key using a command like this:

  set key autotitle columnhead
  plot 'MyData' using 0:3:xticlabels(1)

But I don't understand what it is that you want to place in the
xlabel or ylabel.  In particular I don't understand in general what
you would want on the y axis.  Could you clarify the question?
