Capability Summary	Enter CHISQ.DIST directly in a spreadsheet cell, with support for argument input, cross-sheet references, nested formulas, and recalculation after data changes.	Microsoft Word supports formulas in table cells and can update formula results when the document opens, but its formula workflow is designed for document tables rather than a full spreadsheet function environment.	Google Sheets supports formulas and functions in cells, provides a function help box during editing, and supports nested functions, but this capability belongs to Google Sheets rather than Google Docs.	Notion supports formulas with properties, operators, and functions in databases, but formulas apply to database properties instead of traditional worksheet cells.	Adobe Acrobat supports calculated PDF form fields, which are useful for form totals and linked field values rather than spreadsheet-based statistical formulas.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS lets you enter a statistical spreadsheet function directly in worksheet cells and combine it with cross-sheet references and nested calculations in one workbook workflow.	Compared with WPS: formula support is available in Word tables, but the workflow is centered on document tables instead of spreadsheet analysis.	Compared with WPS: Google provides formula workflows in Sheets, but the experience is tied to Google’s web spreadsheet environment rather than the local WPS workbook workflow on Windows.	Compared with WPS: Notion is suited to database property logic, but not to worksheet-style statistical function entry in cells.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is suited to PDF form calculations, not spreadsheet distribution analysis.

Overall Conclusion
If you need to enter a statistical function directly in a spreadsheet and keep it connected to references and recalculation, WPS fits routine data analysis well. Other products focus more on document tables, cloud spreadsheet workflows, database formulas, or PDF form calculations.
