As a powerful spreadsheet software, WPS Spreadsheets has many amazing features that can greatly improve your work efficiency. Today, I will introduce the top five hottest features in WPS Spreadsheets, which are essential tools for experienced users and important tips for beginners. Let's see how these features help you simplify your work and increase efficiency!

01 How to read comfortably?

Reading Mode

Staring at spreadsheets for a long time may cause eye fatigue, leading to misreading rows and columns, which can be troublesome for work. But don't worry! When you activate Reading Mode, it's like turning on a small "spotlight" that helps you quickly locate data. Simply click once with your mouse, and Reading Mode will instantly highlight the rows and columns you click on, allowing you to focus more on the parts you need to see.

Freeze Panes

When there is a large amount of data in a spreadsheet, you can simply use "Freeze Panes" to lock rows and columns, keeping the header always fixed in place. This means that no matter how much you scroll through the data table, you can easily view the header without losing your direction.

02 How to efficiently merge and split data?

Sometimes we need to summarize data from multiple workbooks. Beginners usually choose copy and paste, while experts prefer the merge and split feature.

WPS Spreadsheets offers various merging modes to meet different needs. For example, merging multiple workbooks into one, merging by workbook names, merging by date, recombining worksheets with the same name...

03 How to visualize data?

When a spreadsheet contains only numbers, it's challenging to visually detect anomalies or unusual patterns in the data. Converting data into graphics can greatly assist people in understanding the data's meaning without delving deeply into the numbers.

Graphs and Charts

WPS Sheets offers powerful and diverse charting functions, allowing you to easily create various types of charts to display and analyze data, thereby enhancing your understanding and application of the data.

Conditional Formatting

Conditional formatting automatically identifies parts of the data that meet the criteria you set, displaying them in different styles or colors. For example, common formats include data bars, heat maps, and highlight prompts.

04 How to find and analyze duplicate values?

Duplicate values often occur when handling large amounts of data. This can affect the accuracy and analysis of data. Almost all spreadsheets have the ability to remove duplicate values, but WPS Sheets offers a more flexible way to search! You can search within a selected range, between two ranges, across the entire workbook, or between two worksheets! This way, the search results are more accurate and less prone to errors. Finally, export duplicate or unique values as needed.

We've collected frequently encountered issues from daily users, such as text extraction, format conversion, batch deletion, etc. Many of these issues used to require functions to solve, but now you just need to open WPS Sheets' unique Smart Toolbox.

It provides over 60 efficient mini-tools, supporting batch insertion, batch deletion, batch format conversion, making directories, text extraction, and many other functions.
