Core tasks include:

View syntax prompts: Check argument requirements and examples after entering the function name.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	You can type `=` in a spreadsheet cell to start entering the BOOKNAME function and use syntax prompts to complete arguments and calculations.	Excel provides Formula AutoComplete, which shows a dynamic drop-down list of valid functions and argument help after you type `=` and starting letters.	Google Sheets lets you enter formulas in cells and shows a function help box, suggested formulas, and range selection while editing.	Notion provides database formula syntax and function references for property-based calculations rather than a traditional cell-by-cell spreadsheet formula interface.	Acrobat focuses on calculation fields in PDF forms for form workflows rather than general spreadsheet formula editing.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS lets you enter functions directly in a Windows spreadsheet cell or formula bar, which fits everyday spreadsheet work and formula practice.	Compared with WPS: Excel offers more detailed autocomplete and ScreenTips, but it is centered on the Excel environment.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets is more focused on browser-based collaboration, while WPS fits local desktop spreadsheet editing more directly.	Compared with WPS: Notion formulas depend on database properties, so direct cell-based formula entry is less central than in WPS.	Compared with WPS: Adobe calculation features are focused on PDF form fields, so they are less aligned with routine spreadsheet formula editing.
