|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Add a Co-occurrence Network chart in a dashboard and configure data source, layout, link-line counting, node colors, and image export. | Excel for Mac supports creating charts from data and adjusting chart type, layout, and style, but the public help page does not describe a dedicated co-occurrence network chart type. | Google Sheets supports inserting and editing charts, including chart type, data range, titles, legends, and style, but the public help page does not describe a co-occurrence network chart. | Notion supports chart views for databases, including bar, line, donut, and number charts, and can combine them into dashboards, but the public help page does not describe a co-occurrence network chart. | Adobe Acrobat Sign provides report charts and data exports for reporting overviews, but it does not provide an equivalent spreadsheet dashboard chart editor. |
| WPS Advantages | Distinct: WPS provides a dashboard-ready chart focused on relationship analysis, with node, link-line, and style settings in one workflow. | Compared with WPS: Excel focuses on general chart creation and styling, and the public documentation does not show a relationship-network chart type. | Compared with WPS: Google Sheets is suited to standard spreadsheet chart editing, and the public documentation does not show a relationship-network chart type. | Compared with WPS: Notion emphasizes database chart views and dashboard composition, with chart types centered on general reporting views. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on report display rather than spreadsheet-based chart editing for relationship analysis. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS is a practical fit when you need to present relationship patterns directly in a dashboard and adjust both data and visual settings in one place. Microsoft and Google focus on general chart workflows, Notion focuses on database chart views and dashboards, and Adobe’s related page is centered on reporting rather than spreadsheet chart editing.

| 4 | Dashboard reporting | Managers and project owners | Complex relationships need a clearer visual format | Adjust theme colors, node colors, and export the chart as an image |
