ALS DPS Chart in Google Sheets: How to Find or Build One

If “ALS” means Anime Last Stand, you can use a Google Sheets DPS chart to compare units, but there is no single guaranteed, permanently current chart to rely on. Look for a community sheet with a recent update date, or make your own by recording each unit’s damage per attack and attack interval, then calculating DPS as damage divided by seconds per attack.

What an ALS DPS chart shows

DPS means damage per second. In a basic chart, each row represents a unit and its calculated DPS lets you compare how much damage it could deal over time under the assumptions used by the sheet. A chart may also list upgrade levels, attack type, range, cooldown, costs, or special abilities. Those columns matter because a single DPS number does not describe everything a unit can do.

For example, a unit that deals 2,400 damage every three seconds has a simple theoretical DPS of 800. That figure assumes uninterrupted attacks against a suitable target, with no missed attacks, damage reduction, downtime, or other modifiers. It is a useful starting point, not a promise of the damage you will see in a match.

“ALS” can refer to more than one thing. In a gaming search, it often means Anime Last Stand, but confirm that the sheet names the game and version you mean. A spreadsheet for another game, an old balance update, or a different meaning of ALS will not answer the same question.

How to find a community Google Sheets chart

Search for the game name together with terms such as “DPS spreadsheet” or “Google Sheets,” and check whether the result is actually a spreadsheet rather than a video or copied table. Search results and community links change over time, so a page that used to work may be outdated or inaccessible. Do not assume a chart is official simply because it looks polished or is widely shared.

Before comparing numbers, inspect the sheet’s notes, source links, and update date. Check whether values refer to base units or upgraded units, and whether the creator has documented how they calculated damage. If there is no date or method, treat the figures as unverified estimates. Game balance changes can make older unit statistics misleading.

Check the sheet title and notes to confirm the game and the version or update it covers.
Look for a source, testing method, or change log that explains where the values came from.
Read the column headings carefully: “damage,” “DPS,” and “DPS at max upgrade” are not interchangeable.
Use File > Make a copy if you need to sort or edit your own version and the owner permits copying.

A viewer-only sheet may be intentional: the owner can let people read it without granting permission to change the original. If you only need to compare units, use its existing filters or make a copy rather than requesting edit access from an unknown person.

Build a simple DPS table in Google Sheets

To make a basic comparison in Google Sheets in a web browser, create a blank spreadsheet and enter headers in row 1: Unit, Damage per attack, Attack interval (seconds), and DPS. Put one unit per row, using the same upgrade level and damage conditions for every entry. Enter numbers as numbers, not text such as “2.4k,” so Sheets can calculate and sort them correctly.

With damage per attack in B2 and the interval in seconds in C2, enter =IFERROR(B2/C2,0) in D2. If B2 is 2400 and C2 is 3, the result is 800 DPS. The IFERROR wrapper displays zero if a row has an empty or invalid interval instead of showing a division error; it does not mean that missing data represents a real zero-damage unit. Fill the formula down column D for the other units.

Use consistent units. If an attack interval is recorded in frames, first convert it to seconds using the relevant frame rate and a clearly stated assumption. Do not divide damage by a raw frame count and label the result DPS. Similarly, make sure that a displayed damage value is damage per attack rather than damage per individual hit when one attack contains several hits.

For easier comparison, select the data range and use Data > Create a filter. The filter controls let you sort the DPS column from highest to lowest while keeping each unit’s values together. You can also freeze the header row through View > Freeze > 1 row, which makes column labels stay visible as you scroll.

Account for multi-hit attacks and targets

Some attacks hit more than once, or can affect several enemies at the same time. A basic damage-per-attack calculation may understate such an attack if the listed damage is per hit. Conversely, multiplying damage by every possible target can exaggerate performance if enemies rarely group together or the attack does not reliably hit them all.

If you have verified a fixed number of hits per attack and want a theoretical total across a fixed number of targets, add columns for Hits per attack and Targets hit. With damage per hit in B2, interval in C2, hits per attack in D2, and targets hit in E2, use =IFERROR(B2*D2*E2/C2,0) in F2. For example, 2,400 damage per hit, two hits, three targets, and a three-second interval gives 4,800 theoretical damage per second across those targets. This is not single-target DPS, and it only applies if all six hits connect as assumed.

Label that result precisely, such as “theoretical area DPS,” rather than putting it in the same column as single-target DPS. If targets hit varies by situation, use a stated estimate or leave that calculation out. Separating measured facts from assumptions makes a spreadsheet much more useful to other players.

Turn the data into a chart

A table is often best for exact rankings; a chart is useful for seeing broad differences. Select the unit names and the DPS values, then choose Insert > Chart. In the Chart editor, check that the unit names are used as labels and the DPS values as the series. A bar chart is usually easier to read than a pie chart when comparing many units, especially when their values are close together.

Keep the chart tied to one meaningful measure. Mixing base DPS, upgraded DPS, and area DPS in one series can make the visual comparison confusing. If you need to compare scenarios, use clearly named separate columns or charts, and include a note explaining upgrade level and assumptions. Format the DPS column as a number with a sensible number of decimal places; excessive precision suggests a level of certainty that the underlying game data may not support.

Google Sheets charts update when their source cells change, but check the selected data range when you add rows. If a new unit does not appear, open the chart and adjust its data range in the Chart editor. A chart can look definitive even when its source data is incomplete, so keep the update date and source information visible near the table.

Why DPS rankings can be misleading

Raw DPS is not the same as practical value. Attack range can determine whether a unit reaches enemies often enough to deal its theoretical damage. Area attacks may be stronger against groups but less useful against a single target. Some units may have attack animations, setup time, status effects, or special abilities that a simple damage-over-interval calculation does not capture.

Upgrades and game conditions also affect comparisons. A base-level value should not be ranked against a fully upgraded value as though both were measured on equal terms. If attack speed, damage bonuses, enemy defenses, or other modifiers apply, record whether the sheet includes them. Where values depend on a particular mode or enemy, note that context instead of presenting the number as universal.

One common misconception is that the unit at the top of a DPS list is automatically the best choice. A ranking answers only the question defined by its calculation. It may not account for cost, range, reliability, team composition, or the job a unit needs to perform. Use DPS as one comparison point, then consider whether the assumptions match the situation you care about.

Accuracy, sharing, and spreadsheet safety

For a personal sheet, include a source or test note beside each value, along with the date checked and the upgrade level. If the number is an estimate, label it as an estimate. When an update changes a unit, keep the old value in a change log or update the entry with a date so readers can tell what the current figure represents.

Be cautious with links promising an “official” or exclusive chart. A Google Sheets file should not need your game password, payment details, or unrelated account credentials to show public statistics. Avoid downloading unfamiliar files or running scripts just to view a DPS table. When sharing your own sheet, use the Share button and grant only the access needed: viewer access is enough for people who only need to read it.

Google Sheets has its own menus and chart editor; these instructions are for Sheets in a web browser, not Excel. Excel also supports formulas and charts, but its interface and some spreadsheet behaviors differ. If you move a copy between programs, review the formulas, formatting, and chart range rather than assuming every detail transferred exactly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there an official ALS DPS chart in Google Sheets?
There may be community spreadsheets, but do not assume a search result is official unless the game’s own channels identify it as such. Check the sheet’s owner, sources, and update notes before relying on its figures.

What is the formula for DPS in Google Sheets?
For damage per attack divided by the interval in seconds, use damage ÷ seconds per attack. For example, 2,400 damage every three seconds is 800 DPS. Make sure the damage and timing values use consistent units.

Why does a unit’s DPS differ between charts?
Charts may use different upgrade levels, damage definitions, attack intervals, target counts, or game updates. Compare the assumptions and sources before deciding that one figure is wrong.

Can I sort an ALS DPS chart without changing the original?
If the owner allows it, choose File > Make a copy and sort your copy. In a shared original, use an available filter rather than changing the owner’s data.

Is the highest-DPS unit always the best unit?
No. DPS does not necessarily include range, cost, attack reliability, area coverage, or special effects. It is a useful statistic, but the best choice depends on the task and the conditions behind the comparison.

Try it: the Percentage Formula Generator: percent of, percent change, increase and decrease, with the formula.
