About This Feature

Overview

Percentage is a field type in WPS Office smart tables on iOS. It is used to display entered values as percentages, which is useful for completion rates, shares, and growth data.

Core tasks include:

Create a Percentage field: set the field type to Percentage in the header editing panel and name the field.
Enter percentage values: type a value in the related cell and let the table display it with a percent sign.

Common use cases include project tracking, sales share records, and task completion monitoring. This helps make ratio-based data easier to read and reduces repeated manual formatting.

Capability Summary	In smart tables on iOS, WPS can create a Percentage field and display entered values as percentages automatically.	Excel for iPhone supports spreadsheet editing, and Microsoft documents how percentage formatting works and how decimal places are displayed.	Google Sheets on iPhone and iPad supports number formatting through Format → Cell → Number format in a spreadsheet.	Notion databases support Number properties for tracking counts, prices, or completion, but the official page focuses on database property management rather than spreadsheet-style field formatting.	Adobe Acrobat official guidance mainly covers PDF form field properties, which are suited to form workflows rather than spreadsheet field formatting.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS lets you create a Percentage field directly at the table-field level for repeated ratio entry. Distinct: after you enter a value, the field displays the percent sign automatically.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft documents iPhone support and percentage formatting behavior, but the official guidance is split across platform help and general percentage-format articles.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets focuses on cell-level number formatting in spreadsheets.	Compared with WPS: Notion is more database-oriented, so the path for percentage-style data entry is less direct for spreadsheet-like field management.	Compared with WPS: Adobe Acrobat is centered on PDF form fields rather than spreadsheet data tables.

Overall Conclusion
If you need to keep entering completion rates, shares, or growth values in a data table on iOS, WPS Percentage is closely aligned with table-field management. Other products also support number or percentage display, but their official workflows focus more on spreadsheet cell formatting, database properties, or PDF forms.
