About This Feature

Overview

Line Chart is a chart component in WPS smart spreadsheet dashboards that shows how data changes over time or in sequence. After you add the component, you can continue configuring the data source, X and Y axis settings, grouping, sorting, and chart style. You can also copy the chart, copy it as an image, export it as an image, or delete it.

Core capabilities include:

Add a line chart to a dashboard for trend analysis.
Manage the chart component from the top-right menu.
Configure chart type and data settings, including source data, dimensions, values, grouping, and sorting.
Adjust chart style, including theme colors, line effects, series colors, and chart elements.
Preview changes and apply the final result to the dashboard.

Common use cases include sales trend tracking, periodic data analysis, dashboard reporting, and grouped trend comparison.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Adds a line chart directly inside a dashboard and supports data source selection, X/Y settings, grouping, sorting, style adjustment, and image export.	Word lets users insert charts and adjust chart elements, styles, and filters, but the official guidance focuses on charts inside documents rather than dashboard components.	Google Docs emphasizes online document creation, collaboration, comments, templates, and file import. Its official product page does not present line-chart dashboard configuration as a core Docs workflow.	Notion supports line charts in database chart views, with X/Y axis settings, grouping, smooth lines, legends, and PNG or SVG export.	Acrobat focuses on PDF editing, conversion, signing, and AI-assisted document work. Its official product page does not describe a built-in dashboard line chart workflow.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps chart creation, configuration, styling, and image export in one dashboard workflow for ongoing trend tracking.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft Word is more document-centered for chart insertion and formatting, rather than dashboard component management.	Compared with WPS: Google Docs is more focused on collaborative document editing, and the official page does not highlight built-in line chart dashboard setup.	Compared with WPS: Notion also supports line charts and export, but the free plan can try one chart while paid plans can create unlimited charts.	Compared with WPS: Adobe Acrobat is centered on PDF workflows, so chart creation usually needs to happen in another tool first.

Overall Conclusion: If your main goal is to build and adjust trend charts inside a dashboard, WPS provides a more focused workflow. Microsoft Word is better suited to document-based charts, Notion is closer to database chart views, Adobe Acrobat is centered on PDF tasks, and Google Docs focuses on collaborative document editing.
