About This Feature
Overview
WPS Word Cloud is a chart component in WPS Office AirSheet dashboards on Windows. It helps you visualize word frequency from text data by showing higher-frequency words in larger sizes, which is useful if you want to create a word cloud in a dashboard and review topic distribution quickly in WPS Office.
Core tasks include:
- Add a Word Cloud component: insert a default chart into a dashboard and open it for editing.
- Use the chart menu: configure, duplicate, copy as an image, export as an image, or delete the chart.
- Set type and data: choose the data source, filter range, keyword field, counting method, and display count, then review the frequency table.
- Adjust chart style: change the theme color and word cloud shape while checking the preview pane.

Compare with Alternatives

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Word Cloud is available as a built-in dashboard chart component in AirSheet. You can add it directly, set the data source and display options, adjust the style, and copy or export it as an image. | Microsoft Word does not describe a built-in dashboard word cloud chart in the cited support content. Its official guidance focuses on viewing, managing, and installing add-ins in Microsoft 365 apps on Windows. | Google Docs does not provide a built-in word cloud in the cited official page. The Word Cloud for Docs add-on in Google Workspace Marketplace can generate a customizable word cloud that users can download. | Notion charts support vertical bar, horizontal bar, line, donut, and number charts for database visualization and dashboards, but the official charts page does not list a word cloud chart type. | Adobe WordCloud is presented as an Adobe Connect app for visualizing attendee thoughts and interactive feedback, rather than a general dashboard chart for table-based analysis. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS includes Word Cloud directly inside the dashboard workflow, so data settings and style settings are handled in one component. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft's cited official guidance is centered on add-ins rather than a built-in word cloud dashboard component. | Compared with WPS: Google's official option here depends on an add-on, and premium members get full control over colors, angles, number of words, and ignored words. | Compared with WPS: Notion is suited to standard database chart views, but the cited official page does not describe a direct word cloud chart for text-frequency display. | Compared with WPS: Adobe's WordCloud is oriented to meeting interaction and participant feedback instead of ongoing dashboard analysis in a spreadsheet-style workspace. |

Overall Conclusion: If you need a built-in way to make a word cloud from dashboard data on Windows, WPS keeps the workflow more centralized inside one AirSheet component. The official pages for the other products point more to add-ins, marketplace add-ons, standard chart types, or meeting interaction scenarios.
