About This Feature
Overview
Percentage is a field type in WPS Office for Android smart spreadsheet data tables. It displays values as percentages, making it easier to read completion rates, shares, growth rates, and similar ratio-based data.
Core capabilities include:
- Create a percentage field: set the field type to Percentage when editing a table header.
- Enter percentage values: type a value in the cell and display it with a percent sign.
This feature is useful for task progress, sales share, survey results, and project completion tracking. For example, entering 50 displays as 50%, which makes percentage data easier to review on mobile.
