About This Feature

Overview

Data Table Numbers is a field type in WPS Office for Android multi-dimensional tables. It is used to store amounts, quantities, counts, and other numeric values.

Core capabilities include:

Create a number field: set the field type to Number when editing a table header.
Enter numeric values: type numbers directly in the record details panel.
Use number fields in formulas: reference the field directly in formula calculations.

This feature fits expense tracking, inventory records, project statistics, and business logs. For general numeric records, use a number field. If you need a currency symbol by default, use a currency field instead.

Capability Summary	On Android, WPS multi-dimensional tables let you create a number field, enter numeric values, and reference the field in formulas. Number display formatting is not adjusted on mobile; formatting can be handled on desktop.	Excel for Android supports applying Currency or Accounting formats to cells and adjusting decimal places.	Google Sheets for Android supports applying number, date, and currency formats to cells.	Notion database Number properties accept numeric values and can be formatted as currency or progress bars, but this is a database property model rather than spreadsheet cell formatting.	Acrobat focuses on PDF form field formatting and supports number-related form formats, but it does not provide an equivalent spreadsheet-grid number field workflow.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS lets you define a field as Number inside a multi-dimensional table and use it directly in later formula calculations for structured records.	Compared with WPS: Excel emphasizes cell display formatting controls, with official guidance focused on currency and decimal settings.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets emphasizes spreadsheet cell formatting menus for display changes.	Compared with WPS: Notion is centered on database property management instead of spreadsheet-style cell editing.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF form fields rather than multi-dimensional table number fields.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is structured record management and formula linkage in a mobile data table, WPS Data Table Numbers is well suited to that workflow. If your priority is direct spreadsheet cell display formatting on Android, the official Microsoft and Google guidance is more focused on format menu operations.
