Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	In WPS Spreadsheet, you can type `=AVERAGEA(` to use the function, with syntax prompts, cross-sheet references, nested formulas, and automatic recalculation when data changes.	Microsoft Excel provides the AVERAGEA function to calculate an average while including logical values and text-form numbers.	The official Google Docs product page focuses on collaborative documents, templates, and AI-assisted drafting, and does not describe a spreadsheet-style AVERAGEA function entry in Docs.	Notion formulas support functions such as `mean()` and calculations across database properties, but the formula model is property-based rather than a traditional cell formula workflow.	Adobe Acrobat supports predefined calculations such as Average in PDF form fields, which fits form calculation scenarios rather than spreadsheet cell formulas.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: Uses a spreadsheet-style formula entry workflow for table analysis; Distinct: supports syntax prompts, cross-sheet references, and nested formulas in a familiar worksheet editing path.	Compared with WPS: Excel also provides a corresponding average function; WPS in this workflow is described around direct spreadsheet formula entry and in-cell editing.	Compared with WPS: the official Docs page emphasizes document collaboration instead of worksheet function calculation.	Compared with WPS: Notion is more oriented to database property formulas and page workflows, so the editing path differs from cell-based spreadsheet formulas.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is more suitable for PDF form field calculations than ongoing worksheet analysis and spreadsheet formula editing.

Overall Conclusion
If your main task is worksheet-based average calculation, cross-sheet references, and continued formula editing, AVERAGEA in WPS fits a familiar spreadsheet workflow. Other products also provide calculation features, but their focus differs across Excel-compatible functions, collaborative documents, database formulas, and PDF form calculations.
