About This Feature

Overview

Pie Chart is a dashboard chart component used to show how each part contributes to the whole. It works well for category-based proportion analysis in business dashboards.

Core capabilities include:

Add a pie chart component from the dashboard component panel.
Edit, copy, copy as image, export as image, or delete an existing chart.
Configure the data source, data range, slice grouping, chart type, slice values, and sorting.
Adjust chart style settings such as theme colors, series colors, labels, and legends.

This workflow is useful for sales share analysis, project status distribution, customer source breakdowns, and reporting dashboards.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Add a pie chart in a dashboard, switch between pie and doughnut styles, filter data, group slices, sort results, adjust styles, and copy or export the chart as an image.	Excel lets users insert pie or doughnut charts and adjust chart elements, styles, and filters inside a spreadsheet workflow.	Google Sheets supports pie and doughnut charts with slice labels, legend settings, border color changes, and pulled-out slices.	Notion charts are database views and support donut charts, chart customization, and PNG or SVG export, but they are tied to database views rather than spreadsheet chart components.	Acrobat Desktop Help focuses on PDF creation, editing, and conversion workflows and does not describe a native pie chart creation workflow in Acrobat desktop help.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps pie chart setup, styling, and image export inside a dashboard workflow, which is convenient for proportion-based reporting panels.	Compared with WPS: Excel focuses on chart insertion and formatting inside spreadsheets, while the cited page does not describe dashboard-style component management.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets focuses on chart editing inside spreadsheets and does not describe a separate dashboard component workflow on the cited page.	Compared with WPS: Notion centers on database chart views; free users can try one chart, and chart setup depends on database structure.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat official help does not describe native pie chart creation, so its documented focus remains PDF handling rather than chart building.

Overall Conclusion
If you want to present proportional data directly in a dashboard and continue with styling and image export in the same place, WPS Pie Chart offers a focused workflow. Excel and Google Sheets are stronger spreadsheet-centered chart environments, Notion is more database-view oriented, and Adobe Acrobat is documented mainly for PDF work rather than native chart creation.

Use Cases

No.	Scenario	Suitable Users	Main Challenge	How Pie Chart Helps
1	Sales channel share reporting	Sales and operations teams	It is hard to compare channel contribution quickly	Group slices by channel to show total share visually
2	Project status distribution	Project managers	Status composition is not obvious in raw tables	Show to-do, in-progress, and completed shares with grouped slices
3	Customer source analysis	Marketing teams	Too many source categories make priorities unclear	Use filtering and sorting to highlight major sources
4	Department expense structure	Managers	Budget composition is not easy to read in rows of data	Use pie or doughnut charts to show category proportions
5	Dashboard export for reports	Reporting staff	Charts need to be reused in presentation materials	Copy the chart as an image or export it as an image
