About This Feature

Overview

Currency is a money field in WPS smart tables on iOS. It is used to store and display amount data for quotes, expenses, budgets, and similar records.

Core tasks include:

Create a currency field: set a table field type to Currency from the header editing panel.
Enter an amount: open a record and type the amount directly in the currency field.

This feature fits expense tracking, quote management, budget follow-up, and dashboard reporting. Compared with a standard number field, a currency field is better suited to amount display because it presents values with a currency symbol, thousands separators, and fixed decimal places.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	On iOS, smart tables let you create a Currency field and enter amounts in record details for quotes, expenses, and budgets.	Excel officially supports formatting cells as Currency or Accounting, with currency symbols and decimal-place options.	Google Sheets officially supports currency formatting and custom currency formats for cells.	Notion database Number properties can be formatted as currency for prices and expense tracking.	Acrobat officially supports number and currency formatting for form fields, mainly in PDF form workflows rather than spreadsheet-style tables.
WPS Advantages	Distinct: WPS defines Currency at the table field level and fits structured mobile record entry.	Compared with WPS: Excel focuses on cell formatting instead of a table field type for structured records.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets focuses on cell formatting, with less emphasis on field-based table structure.	Compared with WPS: Notion supports currency in databases, but the workflow is more general database management than table field editing.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat handles currency mainly in PDF forms, not in the same kind of table editing workflow.

Overall Conclusion: If your main goal is to create a money field and keep entering expense data in a mobile table workflow, WPS provides a more direct field-based setup. Excel and Google Sheets are stronger for cell formatting, Notion is more database-oriented, and Adobe is mainly focused on PDF forms.
