About This Feature
Overview
Download in WPS Spreadsheet on macOS helps you export the current table or current view to another file output or to a multidimensional table for sharing, archiving, and follow-up processing.
Core tasks include:
- Export to a multidimensional table from the whole table or the current datasheet.
- Export visible fields and records from the toolbar to a new file, to the current location, or as a compressed package.
This feature is useful for team archiving, cross-tool sharing, and organizing visible images and attachments in batches.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports exporting the whole table, the current datasheet, or the current view from WPS Spreadsheet. Different export methods handle visible images and attachments differently. | Microsoft provides official Mac download and installation steps for Microsoft 365 apps, then file work continues inside the installed apps. | Google Drive supports downloading files and saving Docs, Sheets, and Slides files in other formats. | Notion supports exporting pages or databases as PDF, HTML, Markdown, and CSV, and some export scope options depend on plan. | Adobe Acrobat on the web supports exporting PDFs to other formats. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: export entry points are available in both File and the top toolbar, so you can export the current datasheet or current view directly. Distinct: compressed export can separately package visible images and attachments. | Compared with WPS: the cited page focuses on suite download and installation, not view-based table export. | Compared with WPS: the cited page focuses on cloud file download and format conversion, not exporting visible fields and records from a table view. | Compared with WPS: it supports several export formats, but some export scope options depend on plan and its database export model differs from spreadsheet view export. | Compared with WPS: it focuses on PDF conversion rather than spreadsheet view export. |

Overall Conclusion
