Intelligent tables.
Turning the tables on other spreadsheet programs, Numbers ’08 offers a fundamentally better way to organize data and manage lists. And it goes a step further by establishing an entirely new paradigm with its innovative and intelligent tables.
Easy table setup
Because each Numbers table has its own grid of rows and columns, you can format each table independently to solve specific needs. Adding, moving, and adjusting row and column size has no effect on other tables. And making those adjustments is easy. Grow your table by grabbing a table corner and pulling it to the right for more columns or down for more rows.
Numbers Showcase
You’ll find pull-down menus containing frequently used tools for adding, deleting, hiding, or sorting rows and columns in the row and column reference tabs. A handy Format Bar offers one-click data formatting.
Highly flexible.
Traditional spreadsheets lock you into a rigid matrix of rows and columns. Numbers lets you create multiple resizable tables on a flexible canvas. Each table is a fully functional spreadsheet that can consist of hundreds of cells or just a few. Add a header or a footer row for summary calculations with a single click.
Navigate quickly and easily.
Because Numbers lists every sheet, table, and chart as an outline in the Sheets pane, it’s easy to swiftly navigate through your document.
Analyzing data intuitively.
From entering formulas to filtering data sets to creating “what if” scenarios, Numbers ’08 offers new ways to interact with and analyze the data in your spreadsheets.
Highly calculating.
Numbers comes with more than 150 ready-to-use functions. Adding one is as simple as dropping it into a cell. And when you create tables with header rows and columns, Numbers uses the data you enter in header cells to create cell names like “2007 Gross Sales” instead of “L26.”
What if?
Numbers offers a variety of novel data input methods, allowing you to format cells as sliders or steppers. These offer a great option for “what if” scenarios, letting you quickly change variables and immediately see the results.

Impressive results fast.
With its flexible templates and a powerful set of easy-to-use tools, Numbers ’08 lets you build exceptional documents — impressive to look at and simple to understand — in minutes.

You can be crunching numbers quickly if you start with one of the Apple-designed templates that come with Numbers. Templates include preconfigured tables and charts with built-in formulas and sample data.
Control the way your spreadsheet looks.
Numbers lets you arrange tables, charts, text, and graphics anywhere on its free-form canvas. Design the perfect document using alignment guides, rulers, masking, and other tools.

Parlez-vous “OFX”?
Truly multilingual, Numbers imports documents in many common file formats. That includes documents written in the Open Financial Exchange format, tab-delimited files, and text documents saved in the Comma Separated Values (CSV) format.
Numbers imports contact information stored as vCards and a wide range of other media types.
Sharing your spreadsheets.
Since you can export spreadsheets created in Numbers in the Excel .xls format, anyone using Excel on either a Mac or Windows PC can open your Numbers documents.
You can also export your documents in PDF or CSV format. If you’d like to publish your spreadsheets on the Internet, send them to iWeb as a PDF or Numbers document.
