About This Feature
Overview
Stock Price Chart is a built-in chart feature in WPS Spreadsheet on Windows. It is used to visualize price range changes over a period of time and is suitable for financial data, commodity price movement, exchange rate tracking, and other datasets that include open, high, low, and close values.
Core tasks include:
- Insert a stock price chart: Open the chart feature from the Insert tab and choose the stock chart category.
- Choose a stock chart subtype: Select a subtype based on the data you want to display, such as high, close, or volume-related layouts.
- Adjust chart position and size: Move and resize the generated chart directly in the worksheet.
This feature is useful for stock trend review, interval price comparison, and time-series price visualization. It helps turn worksheet data into a chart more quickly and keeps chart editing in the same spreadsheet workflow.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | WPS Spreadsheet lets you insert a stock price chart from worksheet data, choose a subtype, and then move or resize the chart in the same sheet. | Excel supports stock charts and officially lists High-Low-Close, Open-High-Low-Close, Volume-High-Low-Close, and Volume-Open-High-Low-Close chart types. | Google Sheets emphasizes collaborative spreadsheets, data analysis, and data visualizations on its official product page, but that page does not specifically describe stock chart types. | Notion charts are database views with bar, line, donut, and number chart options, rather than spreadsheet-based stock chart creation for OHLC data. | Adobe Acrobat focuses on converting Excel files to PDF while preserving charts and formatting, rather than creating stock charts inside a spreadsheet. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: You can create a stock price chart directly from worksheet data in WPS Spreadsheet and continue arranging it in the same sheet after insertion. | Compared with WPS: Excel provides more detailed official documentation for stock chart types, but it is centered on the Excel workbook workflow. | Compared with WPS: Google Sheets highlights collaboration and general data visualization, while its official product page does not highlight a dedicated stock chart type. | Compared with WPS: Notion charts are better suited to database dashboards and progress tracking than direct OHLC stock chart generation. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is oriented toward document conversion and sharing, so it does not replace native stock chart creation in a spreadsheet. |

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to turn price data into a stock price chart inside a spreadsheet, WPS provides a direct worksheet-based workflow. Microsoft Excel publishes more detailed official descriptions of stock chart types, while Google, Notion, and Adobe focus more on collaboration, database visualization, or document output.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable For | Main Need | How WPS Helps |

| 2 | Commodity price range analysis | Operations, purchasing, and research teams | Multi-period price ranges are not easy to compare in plain tables | Visualize interval changes with a stock price chart |
| 3 | Exchange rate or index tracking | Data organizers | Time-series price data is slow to present manually | Select the data and insert a stock price chart directly |
| 4 | Training or teaching demos | Teachers and trainers | A chart creation workflow needs to be shown clearly | Insert and adjust the chart during a live demo |
| 5 | Report layout adjustment | Office users | The chart still needs to fit the page layout after creation | Drag and resize the chart after it is generated |
