Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides IMPRODUCT formula entry, parameter prompts, and result calculation directly in spreadsheet cells for complex-number multiplication.	Word supports formulas in table cells and can perform calculations, but the experience is designed for document tables rather than a full spreadsheet formula workflow.	Google Sheets is an online spreadsheet for managing, visualizing, and analyzing data, and it can create formulas for calculations.	Notion formulas perform calculations with database properties, built-ins, and functions, mainly for database logic rather than cell-based spreadsheets.	Acrobat can configure calculation fields in PDF forms, which is useful for form workflows rather than spreadsheet-style formula editing.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: direct cell-based formula entry for spreadsheet work; Distinct: closer to a traditional spreadsheet workflow for complex-number calculations.	Compared with WPS: formula entry is tied to Word table tools and is more limited to document-table calculations.	Compared with WPS: stronger emphasis on cloud collaboration and online analysis, while WPS fits a desktop spreadsheet editing flow.	Compared with WPS: formulas are property-based and database-oriented instead of traditional worksheet cell formulas.	Compared with WPS: calculations are focused on PDF form fields instead of worksheet formulas and grid-based analysis.

Overall Conclusion: If you want to enter and review formulas directly in spreadsheet cells on Windows, WPS provides a more familiar spreadsheet-style path for this task. The other products also support calculations, but they focus more on document tables, database properties, or PDF form fields.
