About This Feature

Core capabilities include:
- Use the ODDLPRICE function directly in a worksheet cell.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | WPS Spreadsheet supports the ODDLPRICE function for bond pricing in worksheet cells, with cross-sheet references, nested formulas, and automatic recalculation. | Excel provides the ODDLPRICE function to return the price per $100 face value of a security with an odd last coupon period. | Google Sheets documents the PRICE function for securities paying periodic interest, but the referenced official page does not document ODDLPRICE. | Notion formulas perform calculations with database properties, built-ins, and functions, but they are not a spreadsheet financial-function library. | Adobe Acrobat supports calculated fields in PDF forms, which are designed for form-field calculations rather than spreadsheet-based bond pricing. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: Use ODDLPRICE directly in spreadsheet cells for this bond-pricing scenario. Distinct: It also supports cross-sheet references, nested calculations, and automatic recalculation in the worksheet workflow. | Compared with WPS: Excel offers the same named function for a similar financial calculation workflow. | Compared with WPS: Google Sheets officially documents PRICE on the cited page, so this workflow may require a different function setup instead of the same named function. | Compared with WPS: Notion formulas are centered on database properties and workspace logic rather than spreadsheet-style financial functions. | Compared with WPS: Adobe calculation features are focused on PDF form fields, not worksheet-based financial modeling. |

Overall Conclusion
If you need to calculate the price of a security with an odd last coupon period directly in a spreadsheet, WPS and Microsoft Excel both provide a close match for that workflow. Google Sheets, Notion, and Adobe each support calculation features, but their cited official pages focus on different calculation models or product contexts.
