About This Feature

Overview

Merge Calculation is a built-in feature in WPS Office for Windows spreadsheets that helps you summarize similar data from multiple worksheets or table ranges into one result area. It supports summary methods such as Sum, Average, Count, Max, and Min, making it useful for combining scattered data into a single calculation result.

Its main capabilities include:

Summarizing multiple data ranges into one result area.
Choosing a calculation method such as Sum, Average, Count, Max, or Min.
Matching data by labels when the source ranges include a top row or left column label structure.

This feature is useful for department reports, periodic summaries, and cross-sheet analysis. It helps reduce repetitive copy-and-calculate work and keeps the summary process more consistent.

Capability Summary	In WPS Spreadsheet, Merge Calculation summarizes multiple data ranges from worksheets or tables through the Data tab and supports functions such as Sum, Average, Count, Max, and Min.	Excel provides Consolidate to summarize data from multiple worksheets by position or category and supports multiple summary functions.	The official Google Sheets page here focuses on the AI function for generating, summarizing, categorizing, and analyzing information, rather than a traditional multi-range consolidate command in a desktop-style spreadsheet workflow.	Notion uses relations and rollups to aggregate properties from connected databases, including calculations such as Sum, Average, Min, and Max.	Adobe Acrobat Combine Files is designed to merge multiple files into one PDF, which fits document assembly rather than spreadsheet data summarization.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps the workflow inside a spreadsheet and lets you summarize multiple ranges directly into one result area for routine worksheet-based reporting.	Compared with WPS: Excel also offers a mature consolidate workflow and can create links to source data for updates.	Compared with WPS: this official page describes AI-assisted analysis and summarization, not a worksheet-range consolidation workflow.	Compared with WPS: Notion is more suitable for database-style aggregation and requires relation and rollup setup before calculations.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on file-level PDF combination and does not replace spreadsheet-based statistical consolidation.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Merge Calculation is a practical fit for spreadsheet users who need to summarize similar data from multiple ranges and produce a result in one place. For worksheet-centered reporting tasks, it is closer to everyday spreadsheet work than database rollups or file-merging tools.
