Frequently asked questions
This page downloads WPS Office. Features vary by platform, version and plan.
Must the weights add to 100%?
Not necessarily. The formula divides by their sum. If the weights are proportions, keeping their intended total explicit still helps validation.
What is included in the weighted average starter?
An original editable XLSX example with component, score, weight, weighted contribution and task instructions. Weights must be nonnegative and have a positive total. Scores and weights are illustrative.
Where do I edit the workbook?
Download the starter and open it in WPS Spreadsheets. Editing happens in the app; this page does not process or upload your workbook. Save an XLSX copy to keep working, or export a reviewed view as PDF.
What happens when I select the download button?
On Windows or macOS, WPS starts the app download. On Linux, copy the installation command or choose a manual package. On iPhone, iPad, Android or Chromebook, continue to the appropriate app store. This page does not upload, convert or edit your files.
