About This Feature

Overview

WPS Column Chart on Windows is a dashboard chart feature for showing data distribution with vertical bars. It works well when you need to compare values across different categories in a clear visual format. You can first add a default column chart component, then adjust its data settings, statistical options, sorting, and chart appearance.

Core capabilities include:

Create a column chart: add a chart component in a dashboard and generate a default column chart.
Edit or export a chart: open the chart menu to configure, copy, copy as image, export as image, or delete the chart.
Configure type and data: set the data source, data range, dimension, chart type, statistic value, grouping, sorting, empty-cell display, and detail fields.
Adjust chart style: change the theme color, series color, and chart elements such as text style, legend, and data labels.
