About This Feature
Overview
Export Calendar in WPS on macOS is a calendar export feature in WPS Collaboration that saves events from a selected calendar as an XLSX file for backup, archiving, sharing, or later organization.
Core capabilities include:
- Export a selected calendar: choose the target calendar from the left calendar list and start the export.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | You can export a selected calendar in WPS Collaboration and save it directly as an XLSX file on your Mac. | Outlook for Mac provides calendar export to an archive file, but the official page does not describe direct XLSX calendar export. | Google Calendar lets you export calendar data on a computer, and the exported result is an .ics file or archive rather than an Excel file. | Notion can export pages and databases, and databases can be exported as CSV. Its calendar-related pages focus on calendar and database workflows rather than direct XLSX calendar export. | Adobe Workfront can export reports, lists, and calendar-related data to Excel or Excel (.xlsx), but this is a work management reporting workflow rather than a general personal calendar export path. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: direct XLSX export makes it easier to continue sorting and analyzing schedule data in spreadsheet tools. Distinct: the export path is available from the target calendar menu for quick backup. | Compared with WPS: the official guidance focuses more on archive export and does not clearly describe direct XLSX calendar export. | Compared with WPS: the official export format is ICS, which is more suitable for calendar exchange than spreadsheet analysis. | Compared with WPS: export is centered on content and database output, so calendar management and export are spread across different features. | Compared with WPS: Excel-compatible export exists in Workfront reporting, but the scenario is closer to project reporting than personal collaboration calendar export. |
| Official Source | — | Import and export email, contacts, and calendar in Outlook for Mac | Export events from your Google Calendar | Export your content | Export data |
Overall Conclusion
If your goal is to turn calendar events into a spreadsheet file directly, WPS provides a more direct path for everyday backup and data organization. Other products also provide export-related capabilities, but their official workflows differ in format, entry point, or product focus.

| 4 | Pre-migration record keeping | Users switching systems | Want to keep an original record before migration | Export the current calendar before later conversion or migration |
| 5 | Periodic archiving | Managers | Need to keep weekly or monthly schedule history | Export the target calendar regularly and save files with time-based names |
