Capability Summary	Supports the OCT2HEX function in AirSheet to convert octal values to hexadecimal results, with cell references and automatic recalculation.	Excel provides `OCT2HEX(number, [places])` to convert an octal number to hexadecimal and documents padding and error rules.	Google Sheets provides `OCT2HEX(signed_octal_number, [significant_digits])` for signed octal-to-hexadecimal conversion.	Notion provides a general formula system and function library, but its official formula reference does not document spreadsheet engineering functions such as OCT2HEX.	Adobe Acrobat supports calculations in PDF form fields, but it does not provide a spreadsheet OCT2HEX function.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: You can enter the function directly in cells and in the formula bar, which fits spreadsheet-based conversion and recalculation workflows.	Compared with WPS: Excel offers the same function and includes more detailed official parameter and error documentation.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets also offers the same function and is suited to browser-based collaboration.	Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on database formulas and property logic rather than spreadsheet engineering conversion functions.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF form calculations instead of spreadsheet base conversion.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is octal-to-hexadecimal conversion inside a spreadsheet, WPS, Microsoft Excel, and Google Sheets all provide direct function support. For users who want to work with cell references, fill formulas down a sheet, and keep results updated automatically, WPS fits everyday spreadsheet workflows well, while Notion and Adobe are better aligned with database formulas or PDF form scenarios.

Use Cases

#	Scenario	Target Users	Core Pain Point	Solution
1	Base conversion teaching	Teachers and students	They need a clear way to show the relationship between octal and hexadecimal values	Enter the OCT2HEX function in a cell and view the result immediately
2	Engineering data organization	Engineers	They need to process values in different number systems quickly	Use formulas in batches and fill them down
3	Spreadsheet analysis	Data handlers	Manual conversion is slow and easy to get wrong	Use cell references for automatic calculation
4	Result verification	Office users	Results need to update after source values change	Use automatic recalculation to keep results aligned
