Capability Summary	Provides the AVERAGEIF function for conditional averages, with syntax prompts, cross-sheet references, nested calculations, and automatic recalculation.	Excel provides the AVERAGEIF function to return the average of cells in a range that meet criteria, with an optional average_range argument.	Google Sheets provides AVERAGEIF to return the average of a range based on criteria, and it can use the criteria range as the average range when the third argument is omitted.	Notion formulas support conditional logic and functions such as `mean()`, but calculations are built in database properties rather than spreadsheet cells with an AVERAGEIF function.	Acrobat supports predefined field calculations such as Average in PDF forms, which fits form workflows rather than spreadsheet formulas.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: You can enter AVERAGEIF directly in the formula bar and use syntax prompts in a spreadsheet workflow. Distinct: It supports cross-sheet references and nested calculations for worksheet analysis.	Compared with WPS: It also offers standard AVERAGEIF syntax and documents argument rules and error handling in detail.	Compared with WPS: It also supports conditional averages, with a stronger focus on browser-based collaboration.	Compared with WPS: It is more suitable for database-property calculations and does not use a traditional spreadsheet formula bar for AVERAGEIF entry.	Compared with WPS: It focuses on PDF form field calculations instead of worksheet-based data analysis.
