Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Enter the COUPDAYS function directly in WPS Spreadsheet with formula prompts, cross-sheet references, nested calculations, and automatic recalculation.	Word supports formulas in table cells for calculations and logical comparisons, but its formula system is designed for document tables rather than spreadsheet financial functions such as COUPDAYS.	Google Sheets provides the COUPDAYS function and documents its syntax as `COUPDAYS(settlement, maturity, frequency, [day_count_convention])`.	Notion formulas can calculate values from database properties, built-ins, and functions, but they are database formulas rather than spreadsheet financial functions and do not provide a direct COUPDAYS equivalent.	Adobe Acrobat can configure calculated form fields for totals, averages, and other mathematical operations in PDF forms, but it is not a spreadsheet environment for coupon-period financial functions.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: Built for spreadsheet-based financial calculations; Distinct: supports cell references, nested formulas, and recalculation in a desktop worksheet workflow.	Compared with WPS: Word formulas are more suitable for calculations inside document tables and offer a narrower function scope for finance-oriented worksheet work.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets also offers COUPDAYS; WPS fits a Windows desktop spreadsheet workflow with local worksheet editing and formula entry.	Compared with WPS: Notion is better suited to database property logic than standard spreadsheet-style financial function analysis.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is better suited to PDF form calculations than cell-based financial modeling.

Overall Conclusion
For coupon-period day calculations in a spreadsheet, both WPS and Google Sheets provide a direct COUPDAYS function. If your work is centered on Windows desktop spreadsheets, cell references, and ongoing recalculation in local worksheets, WPS is a practical fit for daily financial tables.
