Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	BESSELY can be entered directly in spreadsheet cells, with syntax prompts, cross-sheet references, nested calculations, and recalculated results as data changes.	Microsoft Word supports formulas in table cells and can update formula results automatically when the document opens or manually with F9, but the workflow is centered on document tables rather than a spreadsheet function environment.	Google Sheets is an online spreadsheet that supports formulas, calculations, collaboration, and automatic saving in the cloud.	Notion formulas work with database properties, built-ins, and functions, and are designed for database logic rather than traditional spreadsheet cell formulas.	Adobe Acrobat can configure calculation fields in PDF forms for totals and field interactions, but it is focused on PDF form workflows instead of spreadsheet formula editing.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: BESSELY works directly in worksheet cells for spreadsheet-style formula entry and calculation. Distinct: It supports cross-sheet references and nested calculations in a desktop spreadsheet workflow.	Compared with WPS: formula support is tied to Word table cells, so the editing context differs from spreadsheet-based analysis.	Compared with WPS: it also supports formulas and calculations, but the main workflow is cloud collaboration; WPS provides a desktop spreadsheet editing path on Windows.	Compared with WPS: formulas are centered on database properties and automation logic instead of direct worksheet cell entry.	Compared with WPS: calculation features are aimed at PDF form fields rather than a general spreadsheet workspace.
