INFO in WPS Spreadsheet: Query Environment Details with Conditional Expectations

The official WPS INFO lesson documents the behavior used here. Its applicable-edition field is blank, so it does not establish a Windows Personal or cross-platform availability contract. Reviewed October 19, 2026, this Chinese-language evidence does not establish an exact introduction build, every current edition, or English-global, Mac, Linux, web or mobile behavior. No new WPS execution or native screenshot was possible; the examples are independent controls or explicitly conditional fixtures.

=INFO(type_text)

type_text is required. It is either a quoted information selector or a cell containing that selector. The official image table was inspected to confirm directory, described as the current directory or folder path. The lesson also demonstrates supplying selectors through cell references and filling the formula down.

This guide deliberately concentrates on one clear mode. A valid syntax line alone would not justify copying every Excel INFO selector or its output into WPS documentation.

Enter the following setup:

A2 contains plain text without quote characters. B2 reads that text as the selector. In another cell, =INFO("directory") makes the same request directly. Both formulas should refer to the same environment information when evaluated in the same context.

Conditional expected output: if the active environment’s current directory is the fictitious folder C:\Training\, the result should represent that directory. The guide does not claim to have observed that path, and it does not prescribe exact trailing separators or presentation without an installed-build test.

The fixture is reproducible as a request and validation procedure even though the literal string varies. Record the actual result locally, identify the environment it describes and compare it with the current-directory context. Do not declare a failure merely because it differs from the fictitious folder.

Suppose a training workbook is saved under a fictitious file name D:\Examples\Budget.xlsx. That fact alone does not establish what INFO(“directory”) must return: the selector is documented as current directory, not as the referenced workbook’s full file name.

For a workbook-specific question, consult CELL and its filename mode with an explicit reference. Do not concatenate INFO’s result with an assumed workbook name and label the product a verified full path. A support worksheet can keep the two requests separate and mark which one has been checked in the target installation.

The official table’s release row explicitly refers to Microsoft Excel’s version. The surrounding WPS narrative discusses environment information generally, but that copied wording does not establish what a current WPS build returns for release. This guide therefore does not advertise release as a verified WPS-version detector.

Likewise, the page’s obsolete-memory-selector warning explicitly names Microsoft Excel. It is not evidence that WPS retired memavail, memused or totmem in a particular release. No WPS retirement date or exact error code for those selectors is asserted here.

The table also lists operating-system-related selectors. Their existence is not evidence of this author’s machine details or of a current platform-specific output. Use a genuine target-build observation before recording an OS string as an expected result.

• Use the exact directory selector shown here. Arbitrary text is not a valid request merely because it is in A2.
• If comparing results, evaluate both formulas under the same environment and record the actual application/build separately.
• Review paths for private user or client names before sharing diagnostic files.
• Do not use INFO as a security check, identity proof or complete inventory of an installation.
• The official page does not identify an applicable edition, so test the intended client rather than extrapolating from neighboring Windows lessons.

A good diagnostic report distinguishes the requested property, the observed string and the environment where it was obtained. This guide supplies the first and an explicit conditional test; it does not invent the other two.

Expected outputs are derived from the explicit fixtures and documented operation. They are not results observed in an installed WPS build. Check the intended edition before relying on these formulas in a shared workbook.
