Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In WPS Spreadsheet, you can select data and insert a pie chart from the Insert tab, then choose types such as Pie, Pie of Pie, and Bar of Pie. | Excel lets you insert a pie or doughnut chart from spreadsheet data and then add labels, styles, and filters. | Google Sheets supports pie charts with label and positive-number data, and it provides slice labels, legends, and pulled-out slices. | Notion chart view supports database charts such as donut charts, but it is not a native cell-based spreadsheet chart workflow. | Adobe Express lets you add charts to designs and fill in legends and values for visual content such as posters or presentations. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The entry is directly available on the Insert tab in a spreadsheet, which is convenient for quick chart insertion and basic adjustment in the same worksheet. | Compared with WPS: Excel offers more chart finishing and formatting controls, but the workflow is more centered on a full chart design process. | Compared with WPS: Sheets focuses more on online editing and a chart customization panel, while WPS keeps a direct desktop spreadsheet insertion flow. | Compared with WPS: Notion depends on database views and is better suited to project data visualization than cell-range chart creation. | Compared with WPS: Adobe Express is more design-oriented, while WPS is better suited to turning spreadsheet data into an analysis chart directly. |
