FAQ
What is the difference between a Pivot Chart and a regular chart?
- A Pivot Chart is created from a PivotTable or a pivot-based summary result.
- It works together with PivotTable filtering and drill-down behavior.
- A regular chart is more suitable for direct display of raw data or standard charting results.
Why can’t I find the Pivot Chart entry?
- Make sure you are working in WPS Spreadsheets rather than another WPS component.
- Check whether you have selected a source data range or an existing PivotTable.
- If the entry still does not appear, update to the latest WPS Office for Mac and try again.
Will the chart update after I change the PivotTable?
- Pivot Chart is used together with a PivotTable.
- When the PivotTable result changes, the chart can update to reflect the new result.
- If you do not see the change, check the relationship between the selected PivotTable and the chart again.
