| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In WPS Spreadsheet, Split Table can be opened from multiple entry points and supports splitting a worksheet by content, splitting a workbook by worksheet, and splitting a workbook. | Microsoft Word officially supports splitting one table into two or more tables for document layout, but this is not a spreadsheet workbook split workflow. | Google Docs community guidance states that Docs does not provide a direct split table feature, so users typically copy and paste content and adjust it manually. | Notion focuses on databases, properties, and views for organizing information, but its official help content does not describe a spreadsheet-style worksheet or workbook split feature. | Adobe Acrobat officially supports splitting PDF files into multiple files by page range, which is useful for document page management rather than spreadsheet data splitting. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides 3 common entry points for the same task, which makes the feature easier to reach in different workflows. Distinct: The feature is designed for spreadsheet and workbook splitting scenarios. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses on document table splitting in Word rather than workbook-level spreadsheet splitting. | Compared with WPS: Google does not describe a direct split-table command in Docs, so the workflow depends more on manual editing. | Compared with WPS: Notion is better aligned with database organization and multi-view management than traditional spreadsheet splitting. | Compared with WPS: Adobe mainly handles PDF page splitting instead of spreadsheet data splitting. |

Overall Conclusion
If your main task is to split spreadsheet data by content or worksheet structure, WPS is more closely aligned with that workflow. The other products listed here also support forms of splitting or content organization, but they focus on document tables, databases, or PDF pages rather than spreadsheet workbook splitting.
