About This Feature

Overview

Number is a field type in WPS Office multi-dimensional tables on iOS. It is used to store numeric values such as amounts, quantities, and statistics. You can create a number field, enter values in records, and use the field as an input for formula fields. For display formatting such as integers, decimal places, and thousand separators, the setting is handled on desktop.

Core capabilities include:

Create a number field for structured numeric data.
Enter numeric values in record details.
Understand the difference between iOS and desktop formatting support.
Reference number fields in formula fields for calculations.

This feature fits expense tracking, inventory counts, project statistics, and other structured data scenarios.

Capability Summary	On iOS, WPS lets you create a number field in a multi-dimensional table and enter numeric values in records. Display-format settings are described as desktop-side options, including integers, decimal places, and thousand separators. Number fields can also be referenced by formula fields.	Microsoft Lists supports number columns and can apply visual formatting such as data bars to number columns, with an emphasis on list-column presentation.	Google Sheets on iPhone and iPad supports applying number, date, and currency formats to spreadsheet cells.	Notion database Number properties accept numbers and can be formatted as currency or progress bars.	Adobe Acrobat supports number formatting for PDF form fields in form workflows.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS combines field creation and record entry in the same multi-dimensional table workflow on iOS. Distinct: the number field can also serve as an input for formula fields in later calculations.	Compared with WPS: the official Microsoft page focuses on list-column display formatting rather than a database-style field-entry workflow.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets focuses on spreadsheet cell formatting instead of database-style field management.	Compared with WPS: Notion is strong for database property management, while the official page centers on property types and formatting options.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF form fields rather than table-based field management.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Number is a practical fit for structured numeric records inside multi-dimensional tables on iOS, especially when the same data may later be used in formula fields. If your main need is spreadsheet cell formatting, Google Sheets is closer to that workflow, while Notion and Adobe are better aligned with database properties and PDF forms respectively.

Use Cases

No.	Scenario	Suitable For	Main Challenge	How Number Helps
1	Expense tracking	Finance assistants, team members	Amounts are scattered and hard to summarize	Create a number field to store reimbursement or budget values
2	Inventory counts	Warehouse staff, operations teams	Quantities change often and notes are hard to track	Enter stock quantities directly in record details
3	Project statistics	Project managers, collaborators	Workload or output data is hard to structure	Store hours, counts, or other metrics in number fields
4	Calculation preparation	Analysts	Later formulas need clean numeric inputs	Enter values in number fields first, then reference them in formula fields
