Capability Summary	Currency Field in WPS smart tables can be created as a dedicated field type with currency symbol, decimal place, and default value settings while remaining calculation-ready.	Excel can format cells with Currency or Accounting formats, including symbol choice, decimal places, and negative number display.	Google Sheets supports currency formatting and custom currency formats with adjustable symbols and decimal places.	Notion database Number properties can be formatted as currency for price-style records.	Adobe Acrobat supports payment form fields where the number format can be set to Currency for payment collection scenarios.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps currency display and field-level structure settings together in one field configuration flow, which fits structured table management well.	Compared with WPS: Excel focuses on cell formatting rather than a reusable table field model with a field-level default value in the same setup flow.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets mainly formats cell ranges instead of using a dedicated table field type.	Compared with WPS: Notion supports currency-style database properties, but the workflow is database-property oriented rather than spreadsheet-style table field setup.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF payment forms instead of general-purpose table fields for ongoing data management.

Overall Conclusion: If you need to manage monetary values as part of a structured table, WPS Currency Field is closer to that workflow because formatting and field settings stay together. Excel and Google Sheets are stronger matches for cell-based formatting, Notion fits lightweight database tracking, and Adobe is closer to payment form use cases.
