About This Feature

Overview

Update Cross-Table References is a refresh feature in WPS Office for Android AirSheet. It lets you update all cross-table reference values or formula results in the current sheet with one tap, helping keep referenced data accurate and current.

Core capabilities include:

Refresh all cross-table references in the current sheet at once, reducing repeated manual checks.
Review updated reference results quickly on mobile when you need current data.
Support daily tracking, summary, and collaboration scenarios that rely on linked data across sheets.

If a sheet contains many cross-table references, running an update helps confirm that the displayed results are synced to the latest available state.

Overall Conclusion
