Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	On Android, WPS provides Highlight Duplicates and Remove Duplicates inside the spreadsheet interface for direct worksheet cleanup.	Microsoft Excel officially supports removing duplicate values, filtering non-duplicate values, and highlighting duplicate values; the published guidance focuses on desktop and web workflows.	Google Sheets officially supports removing duplicate rows from a selected data range in Sheets.	Notion table databases support bulk editing and counting distinct values, but the official table view page does not describe a one-click remove-duplicates command for spreadsheet-style cleanup.	Adobe Acrobat officially provides page organization actions such as moving or copying PDF pages, which target PDF page management rather than spreadsheet duplicate cleanup.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS combines duplicate highlighting and duplicate removal in one Android spreadsheet workflow, which is practical for review-first cleanup on mobile.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft documents strong duplicate-handling options, but the cited workflow is centered on Excel desktop and web interfaces rather than an Android spreadsheet path.	Compared with WPS: Google supports duplicate removal, but the cited help content is focused on Google Sheets data cleanup on computer.	Compared with WPS: Notion is better aligned with database organization and distinct-value counting than direct mobile spreadsheet duplicate removal.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF page organization, so it does not provide a directly equivalent spreadsheet duplicate-data tool in the cited page.
Official Source	—	Find and remove duplicates	Split text, remove duplicates, or trim whitespace	Table view	Move or copy pages in PDFs

Overall Conclusion
WPS Duplicates is well suited to Android spreadsheet cleanup because it combines review and cleanup actions in one mobile workflow. Other products provide their own official capabilities, but they focus more on desktop spreadsheets, database management, or PDF page organization rather than the same mobile spreadsheet duplicate-handling scenario.
