About This Feature

Overview

Cross Analysis is a built-in analysis setup feature in Smart Forms within WPS Office for Windows. It is designed for questionnaire editing, where you can define analysis settings, adjust related parameters, and preview the result before confirming the setup. The entry is located in the Questionnaire module of the form editor and can be used as part of the questionnaire creation workflow.

Core tasks include:

Open Cross Analysis from the questionnaire editor.
Configure related analysis parameters in the setup panel.
Preview the effect and confirm the configuration.

This feature is useful for questionnaire design, response-structure planning, and pre-publish checks. It helps you prepare analysis settings before publishing and reduces rework caused by incomplete setup.

Capability Summary	Cross Analysis is available in the Questionnaire module of the Smart Forms editor, where you can open the setup panel, adjust parameters, preview the effect, and confirm the configuration.	Microsoft Forms provides real-time response summaries, per-question details, and export to Excel for deeper analysis.	Google Forms provides response summaries, question-level views, and export to Google Sheets for full response review.	Notion Forms stores responses in a connected database, where responses can be filtered, sorted, and analyzed with database views and charts.	Adobe Acrobat collects PDF form data and lets you export responses to spreadsheet or XML formats.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The Cross Analysis entry is part of the questionnaire editing flow, so setup and preview can be completed before publishing.	Compared with WPS: analysis is centered on response summaries and Excel-based follow-up work rather than an in-editor cross-analysis setup step.	Compared with WPS: response review is closely tied to Google Sheets, and cross-analysis style work usually continues outside the form editor.	Compared with WPS: database views and charts support broader organization, while some advanced logic and chart options depend on plan availability.	Compared with WPS: the workflow focuses on PDF form collection and export, not questionnaire-stage cross-analysis setup inside a form editor.

Overall Conclusion
If you want to configure cross-analysis settings during questionnaire editing, WPS keeps the entry closer to the design workflow. The other products provide official response review, export, database, or PDF form analysis paths, but they are generally more focused on post-collection review than in-editor setup.
