Capability Summary	In smart spreadsheet data tables on Android, you can create a dedicated Progress field and update it by entering a value or dragging the progress bar.	Excel uses data bars in conditional formatting to visualize larger and smaller values in a worksheet.	Google Sheets uses gauge charts to show numeric values within a range, including progress toward a goal.	Notion databases support Number properties formatted as progress bars and Status properties for task progress tracking.	Acrobat focuses on collecting and exporting PDF form data and tracking responses rather than providing a spreadsheet-style progress field.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS provides a dedicated Progress field directly in a mobile data table, so creation and entry stay in one workflow.	Compared with WPS: Excel mainly relies on conditional formatting for visual progress display instead of a dedicated record field.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets is stronger for chart-based display, while field-level progress entry in each record is less direct.	Compared with WPS: Notion supports progress tracking through database properties, but the setup path differs from a spreadsheet-style data table field.	Compared with WPS: Adobe centers on PDF form collection and response management, not a native progress field for table records.

Overall Conclusion: If you want to maintain completion percentages directly inside a mobile data table, WPS Progress is closer to that workflow on Android. Other products can represent progress, but they usually do so through conditional formatting, charts, database properties, or PDF form tracking.
