Overview

Pie Chart is a built-in chart type in WPS Spreadsheet for macOS. It is designed to show how each category contributes to the whole by displaying data as slices, making it easier to review proportional relationships in a dataset.

Core tasks include:

Insert a pie chart from the Insert tab.
Choose a chart subtype such as Pie, Pie of Pie, or Bar of Pie.
Move and resize the chart after it is created.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	You can select spreadsheet data, insert a pie chart, choose subtypes such as Pie, Pie of Pie, and Bar of Pie, then drag the chart to adjust its position and size.	Microsoft supports pie charts in Excel, Word, and PowerPoint, with options such as data labels, chart styles, filters, and additional chart elements.	The Google Docs product page emphasizes online document creation, collaboration, templates, and smart building blocks, but it does not highlight a native pie chart workflow on that page.	Notion chart view supports vertical bar, horizontal bar, line, donut, and number charts based on databases.	Adobe Express provides an online pie chart maker with labels, legends, style customization, and download or sharing options.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: Pie charts are created directly inside the spreadsheet workflow from Insert to Chart to Pie, which fits cell-based data work well. Distinct: It supports Pie of Pie and Bar of Pie choices mentioned in the feature flow.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft offers broader chart formatting across multiple Office apps, but some workflows outside Excel rely on embedded spreadsheet editing.	Compared with WPS: Google's official Docs page focuses more on collaboration and document authoring than on spreadsheet-style pie chart insertion.	Compared with WPS: Notion is better aligned with database dashboards, and its free plan allows only one chart trial while chart types are tied to database views.	Compared with WPS: Adobe Express is more oriented to design and publishing workflows rather than spreadsheet-based data editing.

Overall Conclusion: WPS Pie Chart is a practical fit when you want to turn existing spreadsheet data into a proportional chart directly inside a worksheet. If your work centers more on database dashboards, online document collaboration, or design publishing, the other products may fit those scenarios better.
