About This Feature

Overview

Progress Field is a field type in WPS Office for Windows multidimensional tables. It displays completion from 0% to 100% directly in a cell. After you create the field, you can enter a percentage value or drag the progress bar to adjust completion, which is useful for project tracking, task follow-up, and day-to-day work management.

Core tasks include:

Create a progress field: add a new field from the header and choose the Progress type.
Set a progress value: enter a percentage in a cell or drag the progress bar to update completion.

Common use cases include project schedules, task boards, and team collaboration records. It helps reduce the effort of reading plain numbers and makes completion status easier to compare across records.

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Multidimensional tables include a native Progress field with a 0%–100% range. You can enter values directly or drag the progress bar.	Microsoft Lists can apply Data bars to number columns to show numeric progress visually.	Google Sheets can use the SPARKLINE function to create an in-cell bar display for progress-style values.	In Notion databases, Number properties can be formatted as progress bars, and Status properties can track progress states.	Adobe Acrobat official materials mainly describe JavaScript-based progress indication rather than a native progress field for table-style records.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: a native field type built for direct task progress entry. Distinct: supports both percentage input and drag adjustment in the same field workflow.	Compared with WPS: more focused on formatting number columns for display, with setup tied to list column formatting.	Compared with WPS: requires a formula-based setup to build an in-cell bar view.	Compared with WPS: progress display depends on database property configuration rather than a table field workflow of the same kind.	Compared with WPS: better aligned with PDF and form workflows, without a directly comparable native progress field in a table-style component.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Progress Field is closer to a ready-to-use table field for recording completion directly. Microsoft, Google, and Notion can also show progress, but their approaches rely more on column formatting, formulas, or database property settings. Adobe is more oriented toward PDF and scripting scenarios.

Use Cases

No.	Scenario	Suitable for	Main pain point	How it helps
1	Project milestone tracking	Project managers	Hard to review completion ratios quickly	Use one progress field to display 0%–100% completion consistently
2	Daily task follow-up	Team members	Text-only status is not visual enough	Enter a percentage directly or drag the progress bar in the cell
3	Board-based review	Collaboration teams	Records at different completion stages are scattered	Review records by progress values in multidimensional table views
4	Numeric analysis	Analysts	Completion data also needs calculation	The progress field stores numeric values that can be used in sums or averages
5	Weekly reporting	Team leads	Task status is hard to compare side by side	Use one consistent progress field to summarize work progress quickly
