About This Feature

Overview

WPS Number Field is used to store and display numeric data in Smart Table data tables. It fits scenarios such as prices, quantities, percentages, and amounts that need to participate in calculations. This field supports creating a number field, setting number formats, setting a default value, and showing a thousands separator. Display formatting changes how values appear, but it does not change the stored value or calculation results.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Smart Table data tables support a Number Field for prices, quantities, percentages, amounts, and other numeric values, with options for number format, default value, and thousands separator.	Microsoft Lists uses Number columns to store numeric values, and list columns can support sorting, filtering, calculations, and default values.	Google Sheets lets users apply number, percentage, currency, and custom number formats to selected cells.	Notion database Number properties accept numbers and can be formatted as currency or progress bars.	Adobe Acrobat form fields support Number formatting for numeric display in PDF forms.
WPS Advantages	Distinct: WPS brings format, default value, and thousands separator settings together in one field settings panel for direct data-table field management.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses on list column configuration and item forms rather than a single data-table field settings flow.	Compared with WPS: Google focuses on cell-range formatting instead of centralized field-property settings for a data table.	Compared with WPS: Notion supports number display formats, but the official help page does not present default-value setup in the same way.	Compared with WPS: Adobe mainly targets PDF form field formatting rather than online data-table field management.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Number Field is a closer fit for online data-table field management because field creation and display rules are handled in one place. If your work is centered on spreadsheet cell formatting, list-column management, or PDF form processing, the other products also provide related capabilities, but their workflows and usage contexts are different.
