| Capability Summary | In WPS Spreadsheet, you can use FISHERINV by searching in Insert Function, typing the formula directly, and reviewing function help. | Microsoft Excel provides an official FISHERINV help page with syntax, arguments, remarks, and an example for spreadsheet use. | Google Sheets lets you type formulas in cells and shows a function help box during editing. | Notion formulas support properties, operators, and functions, but they are designed for database properties rather than spreadsheet cell formulas. | Adobe Acrobat supports calculated PDF form fields, which focus on form logic rather than spreadsheet functions. |
