Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports direct LOGINV entry in spreadsheets, shows syntax guidance, and supports cross-sheet references, nested formulas, and recalculation.	Excel provides formula AutoComplete to insert functions and arguments while reducing typing and syntax errors.	Google Sheets provides online spreadsheets for managing, analyzing, and calculating data, with formula-related assistance and collaboration features.	Notion formulas work with database properties, built-ins, and functions, rather than traditional spreadsheet cell formulas.	Adobe Acrobat supports calculated form fields in PDF forms for form-based calculation workflows.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps the workflow centered on desktop spreadsheet cells, with direct function entry, syntax guidance, and recalculation for routine formula work.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft clearly documents formula AutoComplete, but the referenced page focuses on general formula entry assistance rather than a single statistical function workflow.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets emphasizes cloud collaboration and online spreadsheet work; WPS is closer to a local desktop formula-entry workflow.	Compared with WPS: Notion formulas are designed for database property logic, so the editing model differs from spreadsheet cell-based statistical functions.	Compared with WPS: Adobe calculation features are designed for PDF form fields, not for general spreadsheet formula editing.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to enter a statistical function directly in a desktop spreadsheet and complete the calculation quickly, WPS offers a straightforward workflow. If your team relies more on cloud collaboration, database-property formulas, or PDF form calculations, the other products may fit those scenarios better.
