Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	LOG10 can be entered directly in spreadsheet cells, with syntax prompts, cross-sheet references, nested calculations, and recalculation after data changes.	Microsoft Word supports formulas in table cells and can update formula results, but the official page focuses on document tables rather than a full spreadsheet formula workflow.	The official Google Docs page highlights AI-assisted writing, drafting, summarizing, and refinement, not spreadsheet-style LOG10 function entry inside Docs.	Notion formulas perform calculations with database properties, built-ins, and functions, which fits database fields rather than traditional spreadsheet cells.	Adobe Acrobat supports calculations for PDF form fields, which is useful for form totals and linked fields rather than spreadsheet formula editing.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS matches the spreadsheet cell formula workflow directly for everyday calculations. Distinct: It supports cross-sheet references and recalculation when source data changes.	Compared with WPS: the official Microsoft page here is centered on Word table formulas and the Table Layout > Data > Formula path.	Compared with WPS: the official Google page here is centered on document drafting and AI assistance instead of spreadsheet function calculation.	Compared with WPS: Notion formulas depend on database properties and row-based structures for calculations.	Compared with WPS: Adobe calculation features are designed for PDF form fields and field interactions.

Overall Conclusion: If you need to enter a base-10 logarithm directly in spreadsheet cells, reference other sheets, and keep results updated as data changes, WPS fits that workflow more closely. The other products also provide calculation features, but their official pages focus on document tables, database properties, or PDF form fields.
