When using WPS Stock Price Chart, the most common questions are about data format, suitable scenarios, and chart display; this FAQ covers 3 frequent questions and answers.
FAQ
What data format is required for a stock price chart?
- Prepare data in time order.
- Include date or time fields together with open, high, low, and close values.
- Make sure the high value is not lower than the open or close value, and the low value is not higher than the open or close value.
- Select the full data range with headers before inserting the stock price chart.
Can a stock price chart be used only for stock data?
- No. It can also be used for commodity prices, exchange rate changes, temperature ranges, and other interval-based datasets.
- The key requirement is that the data structure follows an open-high-low-close style of range logic.
- If your data is only for ordinary category comparison, a column chart or line chart may be more suitable.
Why does the chart look unclear after insertion?
- Check whether the data columns are complete and whether headers match the values correctly.
- Check whether the selected stock chart subtype matches the current data structure.
- Adjust the chart position and size so the chart area is large enough.
- Stock charts usually display more clearly when they are used with continuous time-series data.
