How-to Guide

1. Insert a Grouped Chart

Entry: Insert → Chart → Grouped Chart

  1. Select the cell range that contains your data.
  2. Make sure the selected range includes category labels and values.
  3. Click the Insert tab.
  4. Open the Grouped Chart option from the chart tools.

Success Criteria

  • On-screen result: You enter the grouped chart insertion flow or see available grouped chart styles.
  • Next action available: You can continue to choose a specific grouped chart subtype.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: Selecting only values without category labels can affect chart recognition.
  • Environment note: You need to work in an editable spreadsheet.

2. Choose a Grouped Chart Subtype

Entry: Insert → Chart → Grouped Chart

  1. Review the available grouped chart styles.
  2. Select the subtype you need, such as column plus line.
  3. If your data uses different scales, choose a column-plus-line chart with a secondary axis.
  4. Confirm that the selected style matches your presentation goal.

Success Criteria

  • On-screen result: The target grouped chart style is selected.
  • Next action available: You can generate the chart and continue adjusting its display.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: Not separating comparison data from trend data can lead to an unsuitable chart type choice.
  • Environment note: A secondary-axis chart is more suitable when data series use very different scales.

3. Check and Use the Generated Result

Entry: The chart area after generation

  1. After choosing the subtype, wait for WPS to generate the grouped chart.
  2. Check whether each data series is displayed as expected.
  3. Confirm that the legend, axes, and trend lines are easy to read.
  4. Use the chart for analysis, reporting, or further editing.

Success Criteria

  • On-screen result: A grouped chart appears in the spreadsheet.
  • Next action available: You can continue adjusting chart style, position, or data source.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: After enabling a secondary axis, not clarifying which series belongs to the primary or secondary axis can make the chart harder to read.
  • Environment note: Keep legend labels clear so different series are easy to distinguish.
