Overview

Features & Capabilities

Numbers is now part of Apple Creator Studio, a powerful suite designed to help you plan, organize, and visualize data. It lets you create, view, and edit spreadsheets using Apple-designed templates on iPhone, iPad, Mac, or via iCloud.com, with real-time collaboration and no subscription required.

Key features include hundreds of functions (XLOOKUP, RegEx), pivot tables, and a wide range of charts and visuals. You can share spreadsheets publicly or with teammates, import and export CSV and Excel files, and annotate data with Apple Pencil or sliders. Apple Intelligence tools like Writing Tools and Image Playground enhance your content. Note that some features require an Apple Intelligence–capable device; see Apple Support for details.

Recent reviews
Compared to Excel, it has more benefits than limitations. I still occasionally need to use Excel for corporate compatibility. But since switching to Numbers, I find the experience of using Excel ranges from dreadful to infuriating. Numbers has a much nice UI and is intuitive to use. It can use complex formulas, like conditional statements, etc. I find it uses smart implementations without doing too much by way of “automatic” assumptions, which can create more work. One of the biggest pros is the aesthetics. It’s much, much easier to make nice looking spreadsheets and graphs for presentations. It has more visual options/customization and doesn’t do the absurd formatting things MS Office apps do, like rearranging the entire page layout when you try to insert an image or graph. The only thing it can’t do that Excel can, is macros, which are necessary for very large datasets. If you need macros, it’s likely not for personal use, and you’ll need Excel for compatibility with corporate systems anyway. For all personal use, go with Numbers. The above is also true about Pages and Keynote compared to Word and PowerPoint. Time to ditch software that’s stuck in the 90s.
