About This Feature
Overview
The Matrix Bubble Chart is a chart component in WPS AirSheet dashboards for showing relationships among X-axis dimensions, Y-axis dimensions, and value size in one view. If you need a dashboard chart for multi-dimensional analysis, this chart helps present distribution and scale together.
Core capabilities include:

- Edit and export the chart: Use the chart menu to configure, copy, copy as an image, export as an image, or delete the chart.
- Configure chart data: Set the data source, data range, X-axis, Y-axis, bubble size, and visible detail fields.

It is suitable for business dashboards, data distribution analysis, category comparison, and other multi-dimensional data review scenarios.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Add a Matrix Bubble Chart in a dashboard, configure the data source, X/Y axes, and bubble size, and copy or export the chart as an image. | Microsoft Word supports inserting charts and adjusting layout, style, titles, legends, and data labels. Its official guidance notes that bubble charts require a specific data arrangement. | Google Docs focuses on online document collaboration, comments, and content editing. Its official product page mentions embedded content from other Workspace apps, but it does not present matrix bubble charts as a primary native document chart feature. | Notion can create chart views from databases, including bar, line, donut, and number charts, with axis, grouping, style, and image export options. | Adobe Acrobat focuses on PDF editing, conversion, signing, and document workflows. Its official product page does not position dashboard-style matrix bubble charts as a core capability. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides a direct Matrix Bubble Chart entry for dashboard scenarios and keeps data setup, style settings, and image export in one component. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft's official materials focus more on general document chart editing, and bubble charts typically follow the Office chart model with structured worksheet data. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs is positioned more as a collaborative document editor than a dashboard tool for multi-dimensional bubble chart analysis. | Compared with WPS: Notion charting is built around database views and more general statistical chart types; the current official help page does not describe a matrix bubble chart. | Compared with WPS: Adobe Acrobat is better aligned with PDF document workflows rather than interactive dashboard chart configuration. |

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to build a dashboard chart for multi-dimensional data analysis, WPS Matrix Bubble Chart offers a more direct entry point and a more concentrated setup flow. The other products also provide charting or visualization-related capabilities, but their official positioning is centered more on document charts, collaborative views, or PDF workflows.
