About This Feature
Overview
Table View is the basic data display mode in multidimensional tables on Android. It presents records in a row-and-column grid so you can browse, enter, and edit data more efficiently on a mobile device.
Core tasks include:
- Create or switch to a table view: open an existing table view from the view list, or create a new one for data entry.
- Change the reading mode: switch between table mode and card mode for different viewing needs.
It is useful for mobile data checks, field entry, lightweight editing, and reviewing records one by one on a phone.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On Android, WPS lets you create or switch table views in a multidimensional table and switch between table mode and card mode for mobile browsing and data entry. | Excel for Android offers Cards View for table data, showing one row at a time in a card-style layout for phone-based review and editing. | Google Sheets supports tables, column types, table menus, and table views in official help content, while Android help pages focus more on row and column editing. | Notion provides database table views with properties and calculations; mobile access is available, but some interactions differ from desktop. | Adobe Acrobat for Android focuses on PDF reading. Liquid Mode improves text reading, while Adobe notes that documents with many tables and charts, such as spreadsheets, are better viewed in their original layout. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: You can create or switch table views inside the same data table. Distinct: You can switch between table mode and card mode for both grid browsing and record-by-record reading on Android. | Compared with WPS: Excel Cards View is centered on card-style row review rather than switching between a table view and a card reading mode inside a multidimensional table workflow. | Compared with WPS: Google officially documents table features, but its Android guidance is more focused on row and column operations than on a mobile table-view workflow. | Compared with WPS: Notion table views are more database-oriented, and mobile interactions differ from desktop in several areas. | Compared with WPS: Adobe does not provide an equivalent multidimensional table view for structured record management on Android. |

Overall Conclusion
If you need a mobile-friendly way to browse and edit multidimensional table records in a grid on Android, WPS Table View fits everyday table work well. When you need a more focused record-by-record reading experience, card mode adds a practical alternative without leaving the same workflow.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable For | Pain Point | How Table View Helps |

| 2 | Mobile record review | Project owners and operations staff | Multiple records need to be checked quickly | Review fields and records together in table mode |
| 3 | Record-by-record reading | Reviewers and collaborators | A full row can be hard to read on a small screen | Switch to card mode to review one record at a time |
| 4 | Multi-view collaboration | Team members | The same data table may need different viewing methods | Switch existing table views or create a new one from the view list |
| 5 | Lightweight mobile editing | General users | Data sometimes needs to be updated away from a desk | Open the table editing interface directly on Android |
