Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports WORKDAY.INTL(start_date, days, [weekend], [holidays]) in a spreadsheet to calculate working dates with custom weekends and holidays. | Excel provides the WORKDAY.INTL function with weekend numbers or a seven-character weekend string, and it can exclude holidays. | Google Sheets provides WORKDAY.INTL with number-based or string-based weekend definitions and supports a holidays range. | Notion formulas support date functions such as dateAdd, dateSubtract, and dateBetween, but there is no spreadsheet-style WORKDAY.INTL function with the same name. | Adobe Acrobat Sign supports calculated fields that update form values dynamically during signing, which fits form workflows rather than spreadsheet date functions. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides WORKDAY.INTL directly in a spreadsheet workflow, making it practical for cell-based date calculations and repeated fill-down use. | Compared with WPS: Excel offers a closely similar WORKDAY.INTL syntax and weekend parameter model. | Compared with WPS: Google Sheets also supports the same function, but its help page notes that direct date entry is not auto-converted in the same way as normal cell input. | Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on database properties and formula fields instead of cell-by-cell spreadsheet formulas. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on calculated form fields in signing workflows, not spreadsheet workday date functions. |

Overall Conclusion: If you need to calculate dates in a spreadsheet with custom weekend rules, WPS, Microsoft Excel, and Google Sheets all provide directly related function support. Notion and Adobe are better suited to database or form-based workflows than cell-based workday date calculation.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable For | Main Need | How WORKDAY.INTL Helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Project delivery date planning | Project managers and operations teams | Calculate completion dates while excluding weekends | Use WORKDAY.INTL with a start date, workday count, and weekend rule |
| 2 | Regional workweek settings | Cross-region teams | Different regions follow different weekend schedules | Use the weekend argument with a number or string pattern |
| 3 | Holiday-aware scheduling | HR, admin, and finance teams | Weekend-only exclusion is not enough for real schedules | Reference a holiday date range in the holidays argument |
| 4 | Repeated formula fill-down | Spreadsheet users handling many rows | The same date logic must be applied across multiple records | Enter the formula once and fill it down |
| 5 | Function learning and checking | New users | Argument order and syntax are not yet familiar | Review the function through the Insert Function dialog |
