About This Feature

Overview

Import Sync Data helps you bring external spreadsheet or database content into a multi-dimensional table, so you can reduce repeated manual entry and keep data updated when needed.

Core capabilities include:

Import data from another multi-dimensional table or a local spreadsheet file into the target table.
Import data from a database by entering the required connection details.
Append imported data to an existing table when you need to add new batches of records without rebuilding the whole table.

This feature fits scenarios such as project tracking consolidation, business data migration, and recurring data supplements. It helps reduce copy-and-paste work and makes it easier to manage data from multiple sources in one place. A distinct benefit is that file import, online table import, database import, and sync-related choices are handled from closely related entry points inside the same workflow.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports importing data from multi-dimensional tables, local spreadsheet files, and databases, and lets you enable data sync when importing from another multi-dimensional table.	Microsoft Lists can create a list from Excel or CSV files by converting table headers into columns and importing rows as list items.	Google Sheets supports importing Excel and other files, and also provides import functions for dynamic data intake.	Notion supports CSV import, and Excel content is imported by exporting it to CSV first and then creating a database.	Adobe Acrobat focuses on PDF form workflows, including importing FDF or XML form data and exporting collected results to a spreadsheet.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: One workflow covers file import, online table intake, and database connections. Distinct: It also supports enabling sync when importing from another multi-dimensional table.	Compared with WPS: the official workflow focuses on turning spreadsheet content into a list structure, with Excel and CSV as the primary import path.	Compared with WPS: dynamic updates rely more on import functions or file import flows, and database intake is not described as part of the same native entry point.	Compared with WPS: Excel files need to be converted to CSV first, and the official help states that import is available on desktop and web, not mobile.	Compared with WPS: the official workflow centers on PDF form data collection and export rather than table-style business data sync.

Overall Conclusion

If your main goal is to bring spreadsheet, online table, and database content into one multi-dimensional table workflow, WPS offers a more direct path for that task. If your work is centered on Microsoft list management, Google Sheets import functions, Notion database imports, or Acrobat PDF form processing, those products also provide official workflows for their own adjacent use cases.
