About This Feature

Overview

The EXP function is available in formula fields in WPS multidimensional tables and returns e raised to a specified power for exponential calculations. After adding a formula field, you can enter an EXP formula directly or combine it with other functions in a longer expression. This page focuses on three common tasks: creating a formula field and using EXP, checking the parameter format, and entering a formula from an example.

System Requirements

Item	Requirement
Operating system	A Windows device that can run WPS Office normally
App version	It is recommended to use the latest version of WPS Office for a stable multidimensional table and formula editing experience
Network	Opening local files and editing existing formulas usually does not require a mandatory network connection; online tables and synced data require internet access
Other	You need access to open or create a multidimensional table and permission to edit fields

Download & Installation

Official download	WPS Office Free Download
Check after installation	Open WPS Office, enter a multidimensional table, and confirm that Formula is available when you add a field

Capability Summary	In a multidimensional table formula field, you can enter EXP to calculate e raised to a power and combine it with other functions in the same formula.	Excel provides `EXP(number)` to return e raised to the power of a number in worksheet formulas.	Google Sheets provides `EXP(exponent)` to return Euler's number raised to a power in spreadsheet formulas.	Notion formulas support `exp(x)` in database formula properties and return e^x as a formula result.	Acrobat Desktop Help focuses on PDF creation, editing, and conversion, and does not present a native spreadsheet EXP function workflow.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: EXP can be used directly in a multidimensional table formula field so the result stays visible for each record. Distinct: This fits record-based data management instead of only cell-based calculation.	Compared with WPS: Excel centers on worksheet cell formulas.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets centers on spreadsheet cell formulas in web-based sheets.	Compared with WPS: Notion uses database properties and formula properties rather than a traditional spreadsheet grid.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat does not provide an equivalent spreadsheet function environment for EXP.

Overall Conclusion
If you want exponential results to stay visible across records in a multidimensional table, WPS provides a record-level formula field workflow that fits that use case well. Excel and Google Sheets are better aligned with traditional spreadsheet cells, Notion is oriented to database properties, and Adobe Acrobat is not a spreadsheet formula tool in this comparison.

Use Cases

No.	Scenario	Suitable for	Main need	How EXP helps
1	Exponential growth estimation	Data analysts	Need to calculate e-based growth values quickly	Enter EXP in a formula field to return the result
2	Automatic formula display by record	Team collaborators	Want each record to show a calculated result automatically	Save EXP in a formula field and let the result display by record
3	Combined formula design	Advanced users	Need to combine exponential calculation with other logic	Nest EXP with other functions in the formula editor
