Capability Summary	In WPS Spreadsheet, you can enter `ROMAN(` directly to convert Arabic numbers to Roman numerals, with syntax guidance, cell references, and recalculation support.	Microsoft Excel provides the ROMAN function to convert Arabic numerals to Roman numerals in spreadsheet formulas.	The Google Docs product page focuses on document collaboration and AI-assisted writing, and it does not describe a document feature equivalent to a spreadsheet ROMAN function.	Notion help content focuses on formula properties and expressions for database fields, rather than a traditional spreadsheet ROMAN function workflow.	Adobe Acrobat official pages focus on PDF, forms, and document workflows, and do not describe a spreadsheet ROMAN function workflow.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS provides a direct spreadsheet workflow for Roman numeral conversion with formula prompts and cell-reference-based recalculation.	Compared with WPS: Excel also offers a comparable function, but it is positioned within the broader Excel spreadsheet environment.	Compared with WPS: the official information is centered on document collaboration rather than a direct spreadsheet function entry point like WPS Spreadsheet.	Compared with WPS: Notion is better aligned with database formula scenarios than standard cell-based spreadsheet function entry.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF and form processing instead of spreadsheet function calculations.
