About This Feature

Overview

KURT is a built-in statistical function in WPS Spreadsheet for calculating the kurtosis of a dataset. It helps you evaluate whether a distribution is relatively more peaked or flatter compared with a normal distribution.

Core capabilities include:

Enter the KURT( function directly in a worksheet cell for statistical calculation.
Follow formula hints to complete arguments for common analysis tasks.
Use cross-sheet references and nested formulas in the same workbook.
Get updated results automatically when referenced data changes.

This function is useful for data analysis, statistical validation, classroom demonstrations, and spreadsheet modeling.

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	WPS Spreadsheet provides the KURT function for worksheet-based statistical calculation, with direct formula entry, formula hints, cross-sheet references, and nested formulas.	Excel provides the KURT function to return the kurtosis of a dataset and supports 1 to 255 arguments or an array reference.	Google Sheets provides the KURT function to calculate dataset kurtosis with values or ranges as inputs.	Notion formulas support calculations with database properties and built-in functions, but its official help content does not present a spreadsheet-style KURT function.	Acrobat supports calculated PDF form fields and calculation order settings, but this is a PDF form workflow rather than a spreadsheet statistics workflow.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: Works directly in a worksheet formula workflow with cell-based editing and automatic recalculation for ongoing spreadsheet analysis.	Compared with WPS: Excel offers a directly comparable spreadsheet function for kurtosis analysis.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets also offers a directly comparable function, with a stronger emphasis on browser-based collaboration.	Compared with WPS: Notion formulas focus on database property logic instead of a named spreadsheet KURT function.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat calculations are designed for PDF form fields rather than general spreadsheet statistics.

Overall Conclusion

For worksheet-based kurtosis analysis on Windows, WPS provides a direct spreadsheet workflow that fits routine formula entry, editing, and reuse. Notion and Adobe support different calculation models, so they are better suited to database logic or PDF form scenarios rather than spreadsheet statistics.
