Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On Android, WPS lets you create a worksheet copy by long-pressing a worksheet tab, which is useful for quick backup and continued editing in the same workbook. | Microsoft Excel officially supports moving or copying worksheets in the same workbook or to another workbook through Move or Copy options and tab actions. | Google Sheets officially supports copying or replicating data across sheets in the same spreadsheet, with a stronger focus on online collaboration and linked sheet data. | Notion officially supports duplicating public pages into your own workspace, including sub-pages, which is designed for page reuse rather than spreadsheet worksheet duplication. | Adobe Acrobat officially supports organizing PDF pages, including page management tasks, which is aimed at PDF documents rather than spreadsheet worksheets. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: the Android workflow is direct for mobile spreadsheet use; Distinct: the copied worksheet keeps content, formulas, formatting, and comments while remaining editable as a separate sheet. | Compared with WPS: Excel provides broader desktop and web worksheet copy workflows, including cross-workbook handling, while this WPS feature is more focused on a direct Android sheet-copy action. | Compared with WPS: Google emphasizes collaborative spreadsheet data use and cross-sheet references, while WPS is more directly aligned with creating a full worksheet copy on Android. | Compared with WPS: Notion duplicates pages and page structures, not spreadsheet worksheets, so the use case is different. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF page organization and does not provide a directly equivalent worksheet copy feature for spreadsheets. |
