About This Feature
Overview
SUMX2PY2 is a math and trigonometry function in WPS Spreadsheet that returns the sum of the sums of squares of corresponding values in two arrays. You can search for the function in the Insert Function dialog box, type the formula directly in a cell, or review its syntax and parameter details while building or checking a worksheet formula.
The syntax is SUMX2PY2(array_x, array_y). It fits spreadsheet tasks such as array-based calculations, result checking, and formula learning in WPS Office for Windows.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides the SUMX2PY2(array_x, array_y) function in WPS Spreadsheet, with support for Insert Function, direct formula entry, and syntax review. | Excel provides the SUMX2PY2 function and returns the sum of the sum of squares of corresponding values in two arrays. | Google Sheets provides the SUMX2PY2 function for arrays or cell ranges. | Notion formulas support calculations with database properties, built-ins, and functions, but they are not spreadsheet cell functions. | Adobe Acrobat supports calculation rules for PDF form fields, rather than spreadsheet-style worksheet functions. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides a direct SUMX2PY2 worksheet function in a spreadsheet environment. Distinct: users can enter it from the Insert Function dialog box or directly in a cell. | Compared with WPS: Excel also provides the same function, so the calculation model is similar. | Compared with WPS: Google Sheets also supports the same function, mainly in a browser-based spreadsheet workflow. | Compared with WPS: Notion is better suited to database property formulas than direct spreadsheet function reuse. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF form field calculations instead of worksheet formula analysis. |
