About This Feature

Overview

A scatter chart displays data as points on a coordinate plane so you can review distribution patterns and relationships between two variables. It is useful when you need to compare numeric pairs and spot correlation, clustering, or outliers in a worksheet.

In WPS Spreadsheet for macOS, you can create a scatter chart directly from a selected cell range. The feature also lets you choose different scatter chart subtypes, such as a standard scatter chart, a scatter chart with smooth lines, or a scatter chart with straight lines. After insertion, you can move and resize the chart in the worksheet.

Capability Summary	You can insert a scatter chart directly from the Insert tab, choose different scatter chart subtypes, and then move or resize the chart after it is created.	Excel explains how scatter charts differ from line charts, how X and Y value axes work, and how to create a scatter chart.	Google Sheets supports scatter charts with the first column used for X-axis values, other columns used for Y values, and options such as trendlines and axis customization.	Notion charts are database views with bar, line, donut, and number charts, rather than a native spreadsheet scatter chart workflow.	Acrobat Desktop Help focuses on PDF creation, editing, and conversion workflows, not spreadsheet scatter chart creation.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS lets you insert a scatter chart directly from a worksheet selection inside the spreadsheet editing flow for quick numeric relationship visualization.	Compared with WPS: Excel provides more detailed conceptual guidance about scatter versus line charts and axis behavior.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets also supports scatter charts and trendlines, mainly in a browser-based spreadsheet workflow.	Compared with WPS: Notion is better aligned with database visualization than cell-based spreadsheet scatter chart editing.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat does not provide an equivalent spreadsheet scatter chart workflow and is centered on PDF tasks.

Overall Conclusion
If you want to turn two sets of numeric values into a visual distribution chart quickly on macOS, WPS Scatter Chart fits directly into the spreadsheet editing workflow. Compared with spreadsheet products, it supports everyday data visualization efficiently. Compared with Notion and Adobe workflows, the path is more direct for worksheet-based chart creation.
