About This Feature
Overview
Share Partial Worksheet is a spreadsheet sharing feature in WPS Office for Android. It lets you choose only selected worksheets from a workbook before sending them, instead of sharing the entire file. This helps you focus on the sheets that matter and reduce exposure of unrelated or sensitive tabs.
This feature supports these main tasks:
- Open the Partial Worksheet option from the Share menu.
- Set the worksheet range to share, such as sheet 2 through sheet 5.
- Extract the selected sheets and continue with a sending method.
It is useful for project collaboration, status reporting, and sending only part of a workbook to external recipients.

Compare with Alternatives

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Lets you choose part of a workbook on Android, set a worksheet range, extract it, and then send only the selected sheets instead of the whole file. | Microsoft Support describes sharing a document by inviting people, setting permissions, and collaborating on the same file, with the page focused on document-level sharing. | Google Sheets supports sharing spreadsheets with specific people or links, and Google also documents publishing an entire spreadsheet or individual sheets to the web. | Notion focuses on sharing pages with people, guests, workspace members, or public links, with page-level permissions and publishing options. | Adobe Acrobat focuses on sharing PDF links for viewing or commenting, with document-level review and link-based collaboration. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: It is designed for selecting a worksheet range from one workbook before sending, which fits mobile scenarios where only part of spreadsheet content should be shared. | Compared with WPS: the official page emphasizes sharing the whole document and permission settings rather than extracting selected worksheets from a workbook before sending. | Compared with WPS: Google documents spreadsheet sharing and publishing individual sheets to the web, but the official guidance centers on permissions and publishing rather than an Android extract-and-send flow for selected sheets. | Compared with WPS: Notion is optimized for page sharing and permission control, not worksheet-range sharing inside a spreadsheet workbook. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat is oriented to PDF sharing and review workflows rather than sharing selected worksheets from a workbook. |

Overall Conclusion
If you need to send only selected worksheets from a workbook on Android, WPS is more directly aligned with that workflow. The official guidance from Microsoft, Google, Notion, and Adobe focuses more on document, page, spreadsheet, or PDF sharing at a broader level, so the use case is not the same as partial worksheet extraction and sending.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable for | Main pain point | How this feature helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sending stage-based data externally | Sales teams, operations teams | A workbook contains internal tabs that should not be sent out | Select the needed worksheet range, then extract and send only that part |
| 2 | Team-based project collaboration | Project members | Different people only need the tabs related to their work | Share only the relevant worksheets to reduce unrelated information |
| 3 | Preparing reporting materials | Managers, assistants | Specific tabs need to be pulled out quickly before reporting | Use Partial Worksheet to extract and send the required range directly |
| 4 | Teaching or training distribution | Teachers, trainers | One workbook contains multiple examples that should not all be distributed | Send only the worksheets needed for the current lesson |
| 5 | Isolating sensitive information | Finance teams, administrative staff | Some tabs in the same file are not suitable for external sharing | Share only the worksheet range that is approved for viewing |
