About This Feature
Overview
Insert Dashboard is a built-in WPS Spreadsheet feature on Windows for turning an existing data worksheet into a visual dashboard page, so you can review key metrics and business summaries more efficiently.
Its main capabilities include:
- Create a dashboard worksheet directly from the Insert tab.
- Add data components such as charts and statistic cards, then connect them to an existing worksheet.
- Show or hide the dashboard title during editing.
- Edit components by reconfiguring, duplicating, copying as an image, exporting as an image, or deleting them.
This feature works well for business overviews, weekly report pages, and ongoing metric tracking. It helps reduce switching between multiple worksheets and keeps important data in one visual page.

| Capability Summary | Lets you insert a dashboard worksheet in a spreadsheet file, add components such as charts and statistic cards, and connect them to an existing data worksheet. | Excel dashboards can be built with PivotTables, PivotCharts, slicers, and timelines to create a dynamic dashboard. | Google Sheets can use Sheets canvas to turn spreadsheet data into dashboards and other interactive visual layouts, and Sheets also supports scorecard charts for KPI display. | Notion dashboard views turn a database into an at-a-glance layout with widgets such as tables, charts, calendars, and timelines. | Adobe Acrobat Sign reports provide a default dashboard with report charts such as completion percentage, agreement volume trend, and average completion time. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS creates a dedicated dashboard worksheet inside the spreadsheet file and includes component actions such as add, title toggle, copy as image, and export as image. | Compared with WPS: Excel dashboard setup relies more on PivotTable and PivotChart combinations and follows a more analysis-oriented reporting workflow. | Compared with WPS: Sheets canvas has availability limits in the official documentation and depends on account and feature access conditions. | Compared with WPS: Notion dashboards are centered on database views in a workspace rather than a native spreadsheet dashboard worksheet. | Compared with WPS: Adobe dashboard capabilities here are focused on e-signature reporting and exports rather than spreadsheet component editing. |
