Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	In AirSheet, typing `=CONCATENATE(` shows syntax guidance and supports parameter entry, cross-sheet references, nested formulas, and automatic recalculation when data changes.	Excel uses CONCATENATE to join two or more text strings into one string and documents syntax, arguments, and examples.	Google Sheets uses CONCATENATE to append strings in sequence and also supports ranges as input.	Notion formulas support text operations and functions such as `join`, while formulas are mainly used in database properties rather than spreadsheet cells.	Acrobat supports JavaScript for form calculations, formatting, and field value handling, but this is a PDF form workflow rather than a spreadsheet function workflow.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: You can enter the function directly in a spreadsheet cell and use syntax guidance to combine text quickly. Distinct: It supports cross-sheet references and nested formulas for everyday spreadsheet text combination tasks.	Compared with WPS: Excel provides a similar text function, but Microsoft notes that CONCATENATE has been replaced by CONCAT for newer product direction.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets also supports string and range concatenation, which fits browser-based collaboration.	Compared with WPS: Notion is better aligned with database property formulas and does not focus on direct cell-by-cell spreadsheet formula editing.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF form scripting and field processing instead of spreadsheet-style formula entry.

Overall Conclusion

If your main goal is spreadsheet text combination with cell references and formula expansion, CONCATENATE in WPS fits everyday worksheet editing well. Microsoft and Google provide similar functions, while Notion and Adobe focus more on database formulas or PDF form scripting.
