Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Calculates working days in a formula field inside a multi-dimensional table, supports holiday exclusion, and can be combined with other functions.	Excel `NETWORKDAYS` returns the number of whole working days between two dates and supports an optional holidays argument.	Google Sheets `NETWORKDAYS` returns the number of net working days between two dates and supports an optional holidays argument.	Notion formulas support date functions such as `dateBetween`, but there is no native `NETWORKDAYS` function, so users usually build the logic manually.	Adobe Acrobat Sign supports calculated fields in forms, but this is a form-expression workflow rather than a native spreadsheet workday function.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: You can calculate workdays directly in a multi-dimensional table formula field and apply holiday exclusion rules in the same record workflow. Distinct: The result can be shown directly in a record field for table-based tracking.	Compared with WPS: Excel offers a similar workday function, but it is mainly designed for spreadsheet cell formulas.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets also provides a similar function and is well suited to browser-based spreadsheet workflows.	Compared with WPS: Notion requires users to assemble the logic with general date functions, which usually takes more setup.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on form calculations during signing workflows rather than spreadsheet-style function scenarios.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to calculate business days directly inside table records, WPS provides a workflow that fits formula-field scenarios well. Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets offer mature equivalent functions, while Notion and Adobe are better viewed as adjacent solutions rather than direct spreadsheet-function matches.
