| Capability Summary | In WPS Spreadsheet, ROUND rounds numbers to a specified number of digits and can be used through Insert Function, direct formula entry, and syntax review inside the spreadsheet workflow. | Excel provides ROUND(number, num_digits) to round a number to a specified number of digits, including positive, zero, and negative digit handling. | Google Sheets provides ROUND(value, [places]) and rounds values according to standard rules, with optional or negative places support. | Notion formulas support round() and also support one- or two-argument rounding in database formula scenarios. | Adobe Acrobat provides a JavaScript calculation environment for PDF forms and documents, but not a spreadsheet-style ROUND function workflow in worksheet cells. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS supports both direct cell formula entry and a guided Insert Function workflow. Distinct: It also lets users review syntax and arguments before confirming input in the spreadsheet interface. | Compared with WPS: Excel documents the same function clearly, but the official page is mainly a support article rather than a guided in-sheet function entry flow. | Compared with WPS: Google Sheets supports similar rounding behavior, but the official guidance centers on formula syntax and online help. | Compared with WPS: Notion rounding is designed for database formulas rather than traditional worksheet cell formulas. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF scripting and form automation rather than everyday spreadsheet rounding tasks. |
