Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides the AVERAGEIF function and supports both dialog-based insertion and direct formula entry for conditional averages. | Excel provides AVERAGEIF(range, criteria, [average_range]) to return the average of cells in a range that meet a given criterion. | Google Sheets provides AVERAGEIF(criteria_range, criterion, [average_range]) to return the average of a range based on a condition. | Notion formulas support mean(), and database tables support Average calculations, but there is no spreadsheet function named AVERAGEIF. | Acrobat desktop supports calculation settings for PDF form fields, including average-related form calculations, but this is not a spreadsheet formula workflow. |

Advantage: WPS supports the same conditional-average workflow directly in a spreadsheet formula environment and includes both an Insert Function entry and syntax review path.
Overall Conclusion
For spreadsheet-based conditional averaging, WPS, Microsoft Excel, and Google Sheets all provide a dedicated AVERAGEIF function. Notion is more suitable for database formulas and summary calculations, while Adobe Acrobat is oriented toward PDF form calculations, so their workflows differ from WPS in this scenario.
