Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Enter `SUMX2PY2(` directly in a spreadsheet cell, use syntax prompts, reference other sheets, nest formulas, and let results update when data changes.	Microsoft Word supports formulas in table cells and can update formula results, but the feature is designed for document tables rather than a full spreadsheet formula workflow.	Google Sheets provides online spreadsheets for managing and analyzing data, and its official product page states that Gemini can create formulas and help analyze data.	Notion formulas work with database properties, built-ins, and functions for calculations inside databases rather than traditional worksheet cells.	Adobe Acrobat supports calculations in PDF form fields, which fits interactive forms rather than spreadsheet-style worksheet formulas.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: SUMX2PY2 is used directly in the spreadsheet cell workflow on Windows, with syntax prompts during entry and support for cross-sheet references and nested calculations.	Compared with WPS: Word formulas are centered on table cells inside documents, so the calculation environment is narrower than a spreadsheet grid.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets is built around cloud collaboration, while WPS fits a desktop spreadsheet workflow for direct local formula entry and editing.	Compared with WPS: Notion formulas depend on database properties and are not designed for standard cell-by-cell spreadsheet formula entry.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat calculations are tied to PDF form fields and are not intended for general spreadsheet analysis.

Overall Conclusion: If your main task is entering and managing worksheet formulas on Windows, WPS provides a direct spreadsheet workflow for SUMX2PY2. The other products listed here also support calculations, but they focus on document tables, cloud collaboration databases, or PDF forms.
