Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Lets you add a funnel chart directly in a Smart Spreadsheet dashboard, then configure data source, funnel levels, values, style, and image export. | Excel officially supports inserting a funnel chart on Mac and customizing it with Chart Design and Format tools. | Google Sheets officially supports creating and editing charts, but the official chart help page does not list a native funnel chart type. | Notion chart view supports bar, line, donut, and number charts for databases, but it does not list a funnel chart type. | Adobe officially provides funnel analysis for user journeys in Customer Journey Analytics, which is an analytics workflow rather than spreadsheet chart editing. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: creation, data setup, style adjustment, and image export are handled inside one dashboard workflow. Distinct: it fits dashboard-based conversion reporting without switching to another tool. | Compared with WPS: Excel focuses on spreadsheet chart insertion and formatting. | Compared with WPS: Google Sheets emphasizes general chart editing, and funnel-style views usually require another chart approach. | Compared with WPS: Notion is centered on database visualization, with chart types aimed at database views instead of funnel chart editing. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on analytics funnel analysis rather than a dashboard chart component in an office spreadsheet workflow. |
| Official Source | — | Create a funnel chart based on Excel data | Add and edit a chart or graph | Chart view | Funnel analysis |
Overall Conclusion
If you want to present a conversion process directly inside a Smart Spreadsheet dashboard, WPS Funnel Chart is closer to that workflow. Microsoft provides clearer native funnel chart documentation for Excel, while Google and Notion focus more on general charting or database visualization, and Adobe focuses on analytics-oriented funnel analysis.
