About This Feature

Overview

Create Data Table Copy is a built-in feature in WPS Office for Android multidimensional tables that helps you duplicate an existing data table quickly. The copied table keeps the original field structure, data records, and view settings, which is useful when you want to build a new table from an existing setup or keep a separate copy before making changes.

Core capabilities include:

Duplicate a full data table from the table tab menu.
Keep the original structure and records in the copied table.
Generate a new table name automatically with a numeric suffix for easier identification.

Capability Summary	On Android, WPS can create a copy directly from a data table tab and keeps the field structure, records, and view settings.	Excel officially supports copying entire worksheets, but the public help page for full worksheet copy is mainly for desktop and web; Android guidance more commonly covers copying row or column data.	Google Sheets on Android officially supports duplicating a sheet from the sheet tab menu.	Notion databases support table views, multiple views, and duplicating view settings, but this is not the same as copying a spreadsheet sheet.	Acrobat on Android officially supports duplicating files for PDF management, not copying spreadsheet-style data tables inside a sheet component.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: the copy flow is handled directly from the data table tab on Android. Distinct: the copied table keeps structure, records, and view settings together for follow-up editing.	Compared with WPS: full worksheet copy is documented, but the mobile path for this exact scenario is less direct in the cited help content.	Compared with WPS: Android sheet duplication is similarly available, so the overall capability is close.	Compared with WPS: the product focuses more on database views than spreadsheet-style sheet copying.	Compared with WPS: the documented capability is file duplication rather than in-sheet table duplication.

Overall Conclusion
If you need to create an editable copy of an existing data table on Android, WPS provides a direct mobile workflow around the table tab. Google Sheets is the closest match for sheet duplication on Android, while Notion and Adobe focus on database views or file copies rather than spreadsheet-style table copies.
