About This Feature
Overview
Pie Chart is a chart feature in WPS Spreadsheet that displays category data as slices to show how each part contributes to the whole. It is suitable for viewing distribution and proportions in a worksheet. In WPS Spreadsheet, you can open the Insert tab, go to the chart options, choose a pie chart subtype, and then adjust the chart position and size after it is created.
Core capabilities include:
- Insert a pie chart: Create a chart from selected category labels and values.
- Choose a subtype: Use pie chart, pie of pie, or bar of pie layouts.
- Adjust layout: Move and resize the chart after insertion.
Common scenarios include sales share, market share, and expense composition. It helps present part-to-whole relationships more clearly in everyday spreadsheet work.
