Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	FIELDVALUE can be entered directly in Smart Spreadsheet and supports syntax prompts, cross-sheet references, nested calculations, and recalculation after data changes.	Microsoft Word supports formulas in table cells and lets users update results manually or when reopening the document, but the workflow is mainly limited to document tables.	Google Sheets supports formulas and functions in cells, shows a function help box during editing, and supports nested functions and range selection.	Notion formulas are designed for database property calculations and support functions, operators, and multiple property types, rather than a traditional cell-based spreadsheet formula workflow.	Adobe Acrobat mainly provides calculated fields in PDF forms for dynamic updates after form input, rather than a general spreadsheet formula environment.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: FIELDVALUE fits directly into the Smart Spreadsheet formula workflow for continuous worksheet calculations. Distinct: It supports cross-sheet references, nested calculations, and recalculation after data changes.	Compared with WPS: Formula support is centered on Word tables instead of a full spreadsheet environment, so it is more suitable for calculations inside documents.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets provides a mature spreadsheet formula environment; this WPS workflow is focused on entering and using the FIELDVALUE function in the current spreadsheet context.	Compared with WPS: Notion is more suitable for database property logic and page-based information handling than traditional cell-level formula entry.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat calculation fields are designed for PDF forms, so the usage scenario differs from spreadsheet-style function calculation.

Overall Conclusion
If your work focuses on entering functions, editing parameters, and running ongoing calculations in a spreadsheet, FIELDVALUE in WPS is closer to a standard spreadsheet workflow. The other products also provide calculation features, but they are oriented more toward document tables, database properties, or PDF form scenarios.
