Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	On Android, after selecting cells, you can use the persistent summary option in View or the Show Sum command in the floating edit bar to see sum, average, maximum, minimum, count, and numerical count, then tap a result to copy it.	Microsoft Excel for the web can show average, count, numerical count, min, max, and sum on the status bar for selected cells, with customizable status bar entries.	Google Sheets on Android shows a row of calculations at the bottom for selected cells, including Sum, Average, Maximum, Minimum, and Count, and lets you drag a calculation into a cell.	Notion tables support column calculations such as Sum, Average, Min, and Max for number properties, but the feature is designed for database columns rather than instant selected-range summaries in a spreadsheet.	Adobe Acrobat supports predefined PDF form calculations such as sum, product, average, minimum, and maximum, but this is focused on PDF form fields rather than spreadsheet range summaries.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: Android provides two entry points for quick summaries. Distinct: the summary panel can stay visible at the top, and you can tap a result to copy it directly.	Compared with WPS: the cited Microsoft page focuses on a status bar summary in Excel for the web and does not describe an Android dual-entry workflow or tap-to-copy summary results.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets also offers mobile summary results, but the cited Android flow uses a bottom calculation row and drag-to-cell action instead of a top persistent panel.	Compared with WPS: Notion is better suited to database column aggregation and does not focus on instant feedback for a selected spreadsheet range on Android.	Compared with WPS: Adobe centers on PDF form design and field logic, not quick spreadsheet selection summaries on Android.

Overall Conclusion: WPS Calculation Options is well suited to quick spreadsheet checks on Android because it keeps summary results close to the current selection and supports direct copying from the summary panel. If your work is centered on database column rollups or PDF form calculations, Notion and Adobe fit those scenarios more closely.
