Core capabilities include:
- Use DAYS360 in a formula field to calculate date intervals.
- Open the function entry in the formula editor and fill in parameters in the required format.
- Combine DAYS360 with other functions for more complete business logic.
System Requirements

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Use DAYS360 in a formula field inside a multidimensional table to calculate date differences with a 360-day convention and combine it with other functions. | Excel provides the DAYS360 function to return the number of days between two dates based on a 360-day year and supports an optional method argument. | Google Sheets provides the DAYS360 function with start date, end date, and an optional method argument. | Notion database formulas support date calculations such as dateBetween, but do not provide a spreadsheet-style DAYS360 function with the same name. | Acrobat focuses on calculated PDF form fields and expressions rather than spreadsheet-style DAYS360 functions. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: DAYS360 can be placed directly in a multidimensional table field and recalculated with each record update. Distinct: it fits workflows where date logic is managed as part of the table structure. | Compared with WPS: Excel offers the same named function in a worksheet cell formula model that fits spreadsheet-based workbooks. | Compared with WPS: Google Sheets also offers the same named function, mainly in an online spreadsheet cell formula model. | Compared with WPS: Notion is better aligned with database property formulas, and date differences can be built, but the formula model is different from spreadsheet functions. | Compared with WPS: Adobe centers on PDF form calculations rather than multidimensional table or spreadsheet function workflows. |

Overall Conclusion
If your work is centered on record-based multidimensional tables and field-level automation, WPS DAYS360 fits that structure well. If you mainly build models in traditional spreadsheet cells, Excel and Google Sheets also provide the same named function, while Notion and Adobe are only partial alternatives for this use case.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable For | Core Need | Solution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Financial interest period calculation | Finance teams, cashiers | A consistent 360-day convention is needed for period calculations | Use DAYS360 in a formula field to calculate the difference between start and end dates |
| 2 | Contract billing cycle tracking | Operations teams, sales support | Contract cycle calculations need a consistent rule | Use DAYS360 to generate standardized billing-cycle results |
| 3 | Project cycle dashboards | Project managers | Cycle length needs to appear automatically at the record level | Add DAYS360 to a formula field and let it refresh with data updates |
| 4 | Validation helper columns | Data analysts | Manual date-difference checks are inefficient | Output results automatically through a formula field for filtering and comparison |
| 5 | Combined formula logic | Advanced users | A date difference also needs to be used in conditions | Combine DAYS360 with functions such as IF and AND |
