Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports entering the MODE.MULT function in WPS Spreadsheets for data calculation and analysis, with syntax prompts, cross-worksheet references, nested formulas, and automatic recalculation.	Excel provides the MODE.MULT function and states that it returns a vertical array of the most frequently occurring values in an array or range, with TRANSPOSE suggested for horizontal arrays.	Google Sheets provides the MODE.MULT function and states that it returns the most commonly occurring values in a dataset as an array formula result.	Notion provides formulas for database properties using built-ins and functions, but its official help does not describe a spreadsheet MODE.MULT function.	Adobe Acrobat supports calculated PDF form fields such as sum, product, average, minimum, and maximum, which is a form-field workflow rather than a spreadsheet function workflow.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: You can enter MODE.MULT directly in a worksheet cell or the formula bar. Distinct: The workflow in this guide covers syntax prompts, cross-sheet references, nested formulas, and automatic recalculation in one spreadsheet context.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses more on array-return behavior and array-formula entry details in its official article.	Compared with WPS: Google focuses more on the function definition, arguments, and array output behavior in Sheets.	Compared with WPS: Notion formulas are designed for database properties instead of cell-based spreadsheet function entry.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF form calculations instead of spreadsheet functions such as MODE.MULT.

Overall Conclusion: If your work centers on spreadsheet statistics and direct function entry, WPS, Microsoft Excel, and Google Sheets all provide a direct MODE.MULT function workflow. Notion and Adobe also support calculations, but they focus on database properties or PDF form fields rather than spreadsheet function entry.
