Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Add a Progress Chart directly in the dashboard, choose bar, semi-ring, or ring styles, and set target value, current value, sorting, and style options. | Excel lets users create charts on macOS with recommended charts and chart design tools, but a progress-style chart usually needs to be assembled from general chart types. | Google Sheets lets users insert charts, change chart types, and customize titles, legends, gridlines, and data ranges. | Notion provides chart views for databases, including bar, line, donut, and number charts for tracking project or task progress. | Acrobat Desktop Help focuses on PDF creation, editing, and conversion rather than native spreadsheet-style progress chart workflows. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The Progress Chart entry is available directly in the dashboard component panel for faster dashboard setup. Advantage: Data settings and style settings are handled in one editing flow. | Compared with WPS: Excel offers broad charting tools, but progress visuals usually require more manual chart setup. | Compared with WPS: Google Sheets focuses on general chart editing, so progress displays depend more on manual data arrangement and chart selection. | Compared with WPS: Notion charts depend on database views, and the Free Plan allows one chart trial. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat does not provide a native dashboard progress chart component in the same category. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want to build a progress-focused dashboard on macOS with fewer setup steps, WPS Progress Chart is a practical option. Excel, Google Sheets, and Notion can also visualize progress, but they rely more on general chart tools or database views. Adobe Acrobat is designed for document and PDF workflows rather than this type of dashboard charting.

| 3 | Sales target monitoring | Business teams | Goal completion is not easy to read quickly | Track current performance against a target value |
| 4 | Operations reporting | Operations teams | Multiple metrics need a consistent visual style | Use theme colors and number formats to standardize charts |
