Apple - Numbers for Mac

Powerful creative tools

See the beauty in numbers.

A spreadsheet doesn’t have to look like a ledger. That’s why Numbers starts you off with a blank canvas instead of an endless grid. You can choose fonts and style cell borders. Or add, resize, and apply styles to tables. And move everything around your canvas at will. Next thing you know, you’ve turned budgeting into an art form.

Over 30 templates to start with. Just add your numbers.

Drop your data into one of the gorgeous, Apple‑designed templates. Suddenly, the numbers look better than they ever have.

Spreadsheets. Outside the lines.

A Numbers sheet is a blank canvas, so you can place multiple tables, images, and shapes anywhere you want. Pixel‑accurate rulers and alignment guides make it easy to do precisely that.

Design your data.

Preset styling options let you choose table designs right when you create them. And you can quickly customize the look of your tables with easy-to-use cell border styling controls.

Designed for simplicity

You’re a natural at math.

Starting with Numbers is as easy as 1, 2, 3. There are prebuilt templates for all your most common tasks. Coaching tips that pop up right when you need them. And an intuitive interface that simplifies the equation of finding the tools you want. Underneath it all, there’s an advanced calculation engine that makes full use of the 64‑bit power of OS X Yosemite. So nothing will slow you down once you get going.

The right tools, right at hand.

The format panel automatically displays relevant options based on what you’ve selected. So you have the controls you want, just when you want them. And a simplified toolbar makes quick work of finding the tool you’re looking for.

A better handle on tables and cells.

Selecting and editing tables, columns, rows, and cells is second nature in Numbers. Which makes working with your data just as intuitive. And with the new Transpose feature, you can instantly switch columns and rows with a quick click.

Math tutor included.

Turn on coaching tips, and help will pop up just when you need it. There’s no better way to figure out how to work with Numbers.

Data, visualized

Smarter ways to look at the numbers.

Numbers gives you dynamic methods to visualize your data. So you can spot patterns, recognize trends, and notice relationships. When you use the impressive charts, graphs, and tools, seeing becomes understanding.

Numbers everywhere

Put all your devices to work. Together.

You don’t work in just one place on just one device. The same goes for Numbers. Spreadsheets created on your Mac look exactly the same on your iPhone or iPad and vice versa. And it’s effortless to move your work from one device to another. You can even access your spreadsheets from the web, share them, and collaborate with others in real time.

See it here. See it there.

With Handoff, you can seamlessly switch from Numbers on your iOS device to Numbers on your Mac and vice versa. Whatever spreadsheet you were last working on will be there waiting for you with all your latest edits. Thanks to a single file format shared by Numbers for Mac and Numbers for iOS, your spreadsheet will look the same no matter the device.

Always at hand.

Now with iCloud Drive, you have a place in the cloud where you can store all kinds of files, organize them however you want, and access them from any of your devices. Put a spreadsheet in an iCloud Drive folder on one device and you’ll find it in the same folder on your other devices with your latest edits — so you never have to wonder what’s where or which is the latest version.

Welcome to the world wide workplace.

With iWork for iCloud, you can access all your spreadsheets from iCloud.com in any Mac or PC web browser. You can also share a spreadsheet with others and edit it together in real time — whether they’re in the next room or on the other side of the world. It’s amazing. And amazingly productive.

Easy to share

Add others to the equation.

Numbers makes it easy to work closely with faraway colleagues. Just click Share to send a copy of your file. Or share a link to your spreadsheet with anyone you want.

Which means everyone sees — and works on — the same spreadsheet. How’s that for an ideal data distribution?

Microsoft Excel friendly

You don’t have to work in Office to work with Office.
