Capability Summary	BESSELK can be entered directly in spreadsheet cells in WPS Spreadsheets, with parameter input, cross-sheet references, nested formulas, and automatic recalculation.	Microsoft Word supports formulas in table cells and can update formula results, but the feature is designed for document tables rather than a full spreadsheet function environment.	Google Sheets supports formulas, collaborative editing, automatic saving, and AI-assisted formula creation in an online spreadsheet environment.	Notion formulas work in database properties and use built-ins and functions for property-level calculations rather than traditional worksheet cells.	Adobe Acrobat supports calculated fields in PDF forms for automatic form-based calculations.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: direct worksheet-cell formula entry on Windows; Distinct: cross-sheet references and nested calculations fit ongoing spreadsheet analysis.	Compared with WPS: formula use is centered on Word table layouts, so the calculation context is closer to document editing than spreadsheet modeling.	Compared with WPS: the product emphasizes cloud collaboration and browser-based editing, while WPS focuses on desktop spreadsheet formula entry.	Compared with WPS: formulas are tied to database properties instead of a standard spreadsheet cell grid.	Compared with WPS: calculations are focused on PDF form fields instead of general spreadsheet function workflows.

Overall Conclusion: If your main task is entering and maintaining spreadsheet formulas in worksheet cells on Windows, WPS provides a workflow that stays close to standard spreadsheet editing. The other products also support calculations, but they place that capability in document tables, online collaboration spaces, database properties, or PDF forms.
