About This Feature

Overview

WPS Scatter Chart is a charting feature in WPS Spreadsheet on Windows that displays data points on coordinate axes to help analyze the relationship and distribution between two variables.

Key capabilities include:

Insert a scatter chart from the Insert tab.
Choose a scatter chart subtype, including standard scatter, scatter with smooth lines, and scatter with straight lines.
Adjust the chart position and size after it is created.

This feature is useful for scenarios such as ad spend versus sales analysis, height and weight distribution, and experiment data review. When you need to observe clusters, dispersion, and correlation trends in worksheet data, a scatter chart is a practical option.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports inserting scatter charts in spreadsheets to show relationships between two numeric value sets, with subtype options such as standard scatter, scatter with smooth lines, and scatter with straight lines.	Excel supports XY scatter charts, uses horizontal and vertical value axes for paired numeric values, and lets users create scatter charts from the Insert tab.	Google Sheets supports scatter charts, uses the first column for X-axis values and other columns for Y series, and supports trendlines and chart customization.	Notion offers chart views for databases, including bar, line, donut, and number charts, but it does not provide a native scatter chart type.	Adobe Acrobat focuses on PDF workflows. It can convert PDF files to Excel for further editing, but it does not provide a native spreadsheet scatter chart feature.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: You can create a scatter chart directly in WPS Spreadsheet from Insert > Chart > Scatter. Distinct: It supports multiple scatter chart subtypes and lets you reposition or resize the chart after creation.	Compared with WPS: Excel also supports full scatter chart creation and emphasizes XY value axes plus chart design settings.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets supports scatter charts and trendlines, but the workflow is centered on web-based editing and side-panel customization.	Compared with WPS: Notion is better suited to database visualization and project dashboards rather than native spreadsheet scatter chart work.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is better suited to PDF-to-spreadsheet conversion and follow-up processing, not general spreadsheet-based scatter chart analysis.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to analyze numeric relationships inside a spreadsheet, WPS, Excel, and Google Sheets all cover scatter chart creation. WPS provides a direct entry path for everyday worksheet work, while Notion and Adobe are oriented more toward database views or PDF data workflows.
