Grouped Chart is a charting feature in WPS Spreadsheets for macOS. It lets you combine different chart types, such as column charts and line charts, in a single chart so you can compare values and view trends at the same time.

Core capabilities include:

Insert a grouped chart from the Insert menu.
Choose a grouped chart subtype, such as column plus line or column plus line with a secondary axis.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Combines two or more chart types in one spreadsheet chart and supports options such as column plus line and secondary-axis combinations.	Microsoft supports combination charts and lets users combine two or more chart types or change chart types for data series in an existing chart.	Google Sheets supports combo charts and can display data series as different marker types such as columns, lines, or area lines.	Notion provides chart views for databases, including bar, line, donut, and number charts, but it is not a traditional spreadsheet combo chart workflow.	Adobe Acrobat Sign provides report charts and data exports for agreement analytics, rather than spreadsheet-based combo chart editing.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: Works directly in a spreadsheet workflow for mixed chart types and is well suited to showing comparison values and trends in one chart.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft also supports combination charts, but its documented workflow focuses on changing chart types in an existing chart.	Compared with WPS: Google also supports combo charts, but the feature is centered on Google Sheets in a web-based spreadsheet environment.	Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on database visualization and dashboards instead of cell-based combo chart editing.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on reporting dashboards and exports rather than spreadsheet chart creation.
