About This Feature

Overview

Strikethrough is a font-formatting feature in WPS Office AirSheet on Android. It adds a horizontal line through selected text so you can mark content as canceled, outdated, completed, or kept only for reference.

Core uses include:

Add strikethrough to selected cell content for quick status marking.
Tap the strikethrough button again to remove the formatting.
Keep the original cell data unchanged because strikethrough only changes how text is displayed.

This feature works well for task lists, inventory updates, budget drafts, and review records when you want to keep the original content visible while showing a status change.

Capability Summary	On Android, WPS AirSheet lets you add or remove strikethrough for selected cell content from the Home tab, using it as a visual mark without changing the original data.	Microsoft Support explains that Word can apply or remove strikethrough from selected text on the Home tab, and its Android tablet formatting guidance includes strikethrough as a text-formatting option.	Google Docs Help explains that users can apply strikethrough from the toolbar or from Format > Text, and Google also documents a keyboard shortcut for it.	Notion Help explains that users can apply strikethrough with Markdown using `~` around text or with a keyboard shortcut on selected text.	Adobe Acrobat Help explains that users can apply strikethrough to selected text from the markup toolbar, mainly for PDF review and annotation.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The entry point is directly available from the Home tab in an Android spreadsheet workflow. Distinct: It marks content visually without removing the original cell value.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft's official guidance is centered more on document text formatting, so it is less focused on the Android spreadsheet scenario described here.	Compared with WPS: Google's official guidance focuses on document text formatting rather than Android spreadsheet cell formatting.	Compared with WPS: Notion is oriented more toward notes and pages, and strikethrough is commonly applied through Markdown or shortcuts instead of a spreadsheet cell-formatting entry point.	Compared with WPS: Adobe uses strikethrough mainly as a PDF review markup tool, not as a standard spreadsheet font-formatting action.

Overall Conclusion

If you need to mark spreadsheet cell content directly on Android, WPS fits that mobile spreadsheet workflow more closely. Microsoft and Google document strikethrough mainly in document-editing contexts, while Notion and Adobe position it in page editing and PDF review scenarios.
