About This Feature

Overview

Create and Delete Data Tables is a Smart Spreadsheet feature in WPS Office for Android. It helps you build a new structured data table quickly or remove a table that is no longer needed.

Core tasks include:

Create a data table: tap the + button on the top data table tab bar to add a new table.
Delete a data table: open the floating menu from a worksheet tab and remove the current table.

This feature fits record tracking, project lists, lightweight database management, and collaborative spreadsheets. When a data table is deleted, its field settings and records are removed together.

Capability Summary	In Smart Spreadsheet on Android, WPS lets you create a new data table and delete an existing one from the table tab workflow.	Excel supports inserting or deleting worksheets in a workbook, with a focus on traditional worksheet management.	Google Sheets on Android supports editing sheet tabs and deleting sheets in a spreadsheet.	Notion supports creating databases and deleting pages or database content, but it is not a cell-based spreadsheet tool.	Adobe Acrobat focuses on PDF documents and table-related PDF content rather than spreadsheet-style data table management.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: create and remove structured data tables in one Android workflow; Distinct: data tables are suited to field-based record management.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft’s official page describes worksheet insert and delete actions rather than structured data tables in a smart spreadsheet view.	Compared with WPS: Google’s Android guidance centers on sheet tab editing and deletion in standard spreadsheets.	Compared with WPS: Notion databases are page-based and property-driven, so the interaction model differs from spreadsheet tables.	Compared with WPS: Adobe does not provide a same-category spreadsheet data table workflow in Acrobat.

Overall Conclusion
If you need to manage structured data tables directly on Android, WPS keeps creation and deletion in a more focused mobile workflow. Excel and Google Sheets are closer to standard worksheet management, Notion is better aligned with page-based databases, and Adobe Acrobat is not a spreadsheet-equivalent option for this task.
