About This Feature
Overview
Percentage is a field type in WPS Office for iOS DBSheet. It displays numeric values as percentages and works well for completion rates, proportions, growth rates, and other ratio-based data.
Core tasks include:
- Create a percentage field: Open the header editing menu, set the field type to Percentage, and name the field.
- Enter percentage values: Type a number in the target cell and let the field display it with a percent sign automatically.
This feature is useful for project progress tracking, ratio reporting, and growth-rate records. It helps reduce manual formatting and makes percentage data easier to read in a mobile spreadsheet-like database.
