Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	On iOS, WPS lets you detect and delete duplicate rows directly in a worksheet during mobile spreadsheet editing.	Excel provides Find and remove duplicates and lets users choose which columns are used when removing duplicate values.	Google Sheets provides Remove duplicates for a selected data range and lets users choose included columns and header settings.	Notion table views support database tables, bulk editing, and a count of non-duplicate values, but the cited help page does not describe a one-click remove-duplicate-rows command.	Adobe Acrobat focuses on deleting and organizing PDF pages, not spreadsheet duplicate-row cleanup.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: duplicate cleanup is available directly in the iOS spreadsheet editing flow; Distinct: useful for quick mobile data cleanup without moving to a desktop workflow.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft’s official guidance emphasizes Excel data tools and column-based duplicate selection, mainly in Excel environments described on desktop and web support pages.	Compared with WPS: Google’s official guidance focuses on Google Sheets data-range cleanup through the Data menu in its spreadsheet environment.	Compared with WPS: Notion’s cited table capability centers on database organization and counting non-duplicate values rather than direct duplicate-row deletion.	Compared with WPS: Adobe’s cited capability is for PDF page management, so the workflow and file type are different from spreadsheet deduplication.

Overall Conclusion
If you need to remove duplicate rows directly on iPhone or iPad, WPS fits a mobile spreadsheet workflow well. Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets both provide established duplicate-removal features, while the cited Notion and Adobe pages focus on different table or document-management scenarios.
