Overall Conclusion
If your work focuses on entering and calculating engineering functions in a desktop spreadsheet, WPS provides a familiar worksheet-based path for using BESSELY. Microsoft Excel offers a similarly broad function library, while Google Sheets emphasizes browser-based formula entry. Notion and Adobe are better aligned with database and form scenarios than worksheet engineering functions.
