Capability Summary	After adding a table component to a dashboard, you can configure the data source, record filters, fields, sorting, grouping, and row height to show detailed records.	Excel tables support header filtering, sorting, calculated columns, and total rows for structured spreadsheet data.	Google Sheets supports sorting, filtering, and filter views for online spreadsheet organization and collaboration.	Notion database table views support table display, filtering, sorting, grouping, and sub-grouping for lightweight database workflows.	Acrobat official guidance focuses on PDF table structure and accessibility tagging rather than interactive dashboard-style data tables.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: it works directly as a dashboard component. Distinct: display-related settings are managed in one configuration panel.	Compared with WPS: Excel is centered on standalone spreadsheet editing rather than embedded dashboard components.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets focuses on the spreadsheet itself and filter views, not a dashboard component workflow.	Compared with WPS: Notion centers on database pages and multi-view organization, where each row is also a page item.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat does not provide an equivalent dashboard data-table component and mainly handles PDF table structure.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Table Components fits dashboard-based detail viewing especially well because it combines table insertion and display settings in one place. Excel, Google Sheets, and Notion all provide table-related data organization, but their product models focus more on spreadsheets or database views, while Adobe Acrobat mainly targets PDF table handling.
