About This Feature
Overview
Data Statistics is a configuration feature in the File Collection scenario of WPS Smart Forms on Windows. It is used to set up and manage how collected data is counted and reviewed during form creation.
This feature is part of the form editor workflow. You can open the Data Statistics panel from File Collection, adjust related settings, preview the result, and confirm the setup before continuing with the form.

- Preview the current statistics result.
- Confirm the setup and continue editing.
It is useful for form building, pre-release checks, and reviewing collection rules before publishing.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides a Data Statistics entry inside the Smart Forms file collection workflow, so you can configure parameters, preview the result, and confirm the setup in the editor. | Excel Analyze Data helps users analyze existing spreadsheet data with natural language questions, charts, tables, and PivotTables. | Google Sheets supports spreadsheet analysis with charts, automatic charts, pivot tables, and automatic pivot tables. | Notion offers chart views for databases, letting users visualize database items in bar, line, donut, or number charts. | Acrobat collects PDF form responses and lets users export response data to spreadsheet or XML formats. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: the statistics entry is built directly into the Smart Forms file collection workflow. Distinct: it fits form setup before release instead of post-collection analysis. | Compared with WPS: Excel focuses on analyzing existing spreadsheet data rather than configuring collection statistics inside a form editor. | Compared with WPS: Sheets focuses on spreadsheet exploration and analysis, not a file collection statistics setup flow inside form editing. | Compared with WPS: Notion centers on database visualization, and chart availability depends on plan limits. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat is better aligned with collecting and exporting PDF form responses than with configuring statistics during form editing. |
| Official Source | — | Analyze Data in Excel | Analyse data in Sheets | Chart view | Collect and manage PDF form data |
Overall Conclusion: If your main goal is to configure file collection statistics while building a form, WPS is closer to that workflow. The other products provide analysis, charting, or response collection features, but they are generally oriented toward spreadsheet analysis, database visualization, or PDF form response management.
