Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	BESSELJ can be entered directly in a spreadsheet cell, with syntax guidance, cross-sheet references, nested formulas, and automatic recalculation.	Microsoft Word supports formulas in table cells and can update formula results, but its official page focuses on document-table formulas rather than a spreadsheet function library.	The official Google Docs page highlights Gemini for drafting, summarizing, and asking questions, and does not describe an equivalent spreadsheet-style function workflow inside Docs.	Notion formulas can calculate with database properties and functions, but the official help content describes a database-property formula system rather than spreadsheet cell formulas.	Adobe Acrobat supports calculated PDF form fields, which fits form workflows, but its official help content is not centered on spreadsheet cell function entry.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS follows a spreadsheet-style formula workflow, so you can enter BESSELJ directly in a cell and combine it with cross-sheet references and nested formulas.	Compared with WPS: the official Microsoft page is centered on Word table formulas for document layouts.	Compared with WPS: the official Google page emphasizes AI-assisted writing in documents instead of spreadsheet-style function entry.	Compared with WPS: Notion supports formulas, but they are tied to database properties instead of a traditional worksheet cell workflow.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is suited to PDF form calculations rather than routine spreadsheet analysis and formula editing.

Overall Conclusion
If your main task is spreadsheet-based function calculation, WPS provides a more direct worksheet workflow for entering, referencing, and recalculating formulas. The other products listed here also support calculation-related tasks, but they focus on document tables, database properties, or PDF forms.

Use Cases
