Capability Summary	WORKDAY can be used in Multi-Dimensional Tables formula fields to calculate the date after a specified number of working days and can include holiday parameters for business date calculations.	Excel provides `WORKDAY(start_date, days, [holidays])`, which returns the date before or after a specified number of working days and supports a holidays argument.	Google Sheets provides `WORKDAY(start_date, num_days, [holidays])` to calculate the end date after a specified number of working days and supports a holiday range.	Notion formulas support date functions such as `dateAdd`, `dateSubtract`, and `dateBetween`, but there is no native function named WORKDAY.	Adobe public documentation for this keyword focuses on Acrobat Sign integration with Workday rather than a spreadsheet formula equivalent to WORKDAY.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WORKDAY can be added directly to business records in WPS Multi-Dimensional Tables. Distinct: it fits field-based workflows where date calculations update together with record data.	Compared with WPS: Excel offers a similar function in spreadsheet cells and is oriented toward traditional worksheet calculation.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets also offers a similar function, mainly in an online spreadsheet workflow.	Compared with WPS: Notion requires users to combine general date functions to approximate business-day logic, so setup is more manual.	Compared with WPS: Adobe does not provide a same-component spreadsheet function equivalent in its public documentation and is more focused on signing workflows.

Overall Conclusion: If your main goal is to calculate working-day dates directly inside business records, WPS WORKDAY in Multi-Dimensional Tables is a practical fit. Excel and Google Sheets provide mature same-category functions, while Notion and Adobe have more limited same-component coverage for this specific spreadsheet-style use case.
