When using Export as Numeric Table, the most common questions are about membership access, export results, and how the original file is handled; this FAQ covers 4 common questions.
FAQ
Why can’t I find the Export as Numeric Table entry?
- Make sure the current file is a spreadsheet rather than a Writer or Presentation file.
- Open the More menu and check whether More output conversion is available.
- Confirm that your signed-in account has an active membership, because this feature is membership-based.
- If the entry still does not appear, update WPS Office and reopen the spreadsheet.
Will the original formulas be deleted after export?
- No. The feature creates a new file for the exported result.
- The original spreadsheet remains available with its formulas.
- You can continue editing or recalculating the original file later.
Why doesn’t the exported spreadsheet recalculate automatically?
- The exported file keeps final values instead of formulas.
- Because the formulas are no longer present, later edits do not trigger the original calculations.
- If you still need recalculation, continue working in the original spreadsheet.
When should I use Export as Numeric Table?
- Use it when you need to submit results, archive a snapshot, or share final numbers with others.
- It is especially useful when you want to avoid broken references after copying or sending a spreadsheet.
- For ongoing formula editing, keep both the original file and the exported file.
