WPS Import Data on Windows FAQ

Last updated:July 20, 2026

When using Import Data, the most common questions fall into 4 areas: supported formats, formatting after import, file size, and online document access.

FAQ

What file formats can I import?

  1. For local file import, you can choose XLSX, XLS, ET, and CSV files.
  2. For online document import, you can choose XLSX, XLS, ET, CSV, and online spreadsheet files.
  3. If your file is not in a supported format, convert it to a common spreadsheet format before importing.

What should I do if some formatting is not fully preserved after import?

  1. Check whether the original file contains complex formatting, charts, or special rules.
  2. Review the imported structure and display in the current worksheet.
  3. Adjust cell formatting, column width, or other display settings after import if needed.

Is there a file size limit for importing data?

  1. A single import is recommended to stay within 250 MB.
  2. If the file is larger, split it into smaller files and import them separately.
  3. Keep the document open and wait for processing to finish when importing larger files.

Why can’t I see my online documents or complete the import?

  1. Confirm that your device has a working network connection.
  2. Check whether you are signed in to your WPS account.
  3. In the file picker, switch among categories such as Recent, Shared, or My Cloud Docs to find the target file again.
  4. If the file still does not appear, confirm that it has been synced to a location accessible by your current account.
