Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports AVERAGEIFS in WPS Spreadsheets for multi-criteria averaging, cross-sheet references, nested calculations, and automatic recalculation.	Excel provides the AVERAGEIFS function to return the average of cells that meet multiple criteria.	Google Sheets provides AVERAGEIFS to return the average of a range based on multiple criteria.	Notion provides database formulas built from properties, operators, and functions, but it does not present a spreadsheet function named AVERAGEIFS in the same way.	Acrobat supports predefined calculations such as Average in PDF form fields, mainly for form workflows rather than spreadsheet formulas.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: You can enter AVERAGEIFS directly in spreadsheet cells with formula hints, and use cross-sheet references with automatic recalculation after data changes.	Compared with WPS: Excel also provides a native AVERAGEIFS function and is similarly suited to spreadsheet statistics.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets also supports AVERAGEIFS syntax and is well suited to browser-based spreadsheet collaboration.	Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on database formula properties instead of direct cell-based spreadsheet function entry.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF form field calculations such as Average rather than spreadsheet analysis workflows.

Overall Conclusion: For multi-criteria average calculations in spreadsheets, WPS, Microsoft Excel, and Google Sheets all provide direct function support.
