It’s easy to be good with Numbers.

Who knew making spreadsheets could feel so natural? Numbers is the most powerful spreadsheet app designed to work with iPad and Multi-Touch technology. With a few taps, you can create tables and charts, add photos and graphics, and enter and edit data. Numbers isn’t just a spreadsheet application — it’s a flexible canvas. Which means you can add multiple tables and charts anywhere on a sheet and move them wherever you like.

Tables with a tap.

Drag your finger on a table to add, delete, or move columns and rows. With a tap, enter and edit data. Use the full-screen summary view to see your data by the sum, min, max, and count for your selection. Then, with just a swipe, you can see a chart of how it all adds up.

Enter data on the go.

Say you’re keeping track of your team’s practice on the field, tracking your gas mileage on the road, or taking attendance in a classroom. Enter your data on a form in Numbers. Forms are a quick and easy way to gather or edit data. When you link a table to a form, Numbers automatically updates each row as you enter information.

Off-the-charts charts.

Transform your data into compelling bar, line, area, or pie charts. Apply Apple-designed styles to your charts so they match your template. Just tap the chart, tap the Info button, then tap again to choose a style. You can even add data to a chart from multiple sheets in your spreadsheet with a few taps. Since Numbers is built on a flexible canvas, drag to move the chart wherever you want. And copy and paste your charts into Keynote or Pages on your iPad.

Even the keyboard is smart.

The intelligent keyboard helps you enter data and create formulas. You’ll see the keyboard you need for the data you’re entering, whether it’s digits, date and time, duration, text, or formulas. Numbers has a full calculation engine, more than 250 functions, and clear and concise help for each of them built in.

Works well with others.

Numbers on iPad lets you open spreadsheets created using iWork or Microsoft Office. So if someone emails you a Numbers or Excel file, you can easily import it into Numbers for iPad. To share your work, export your spreadsheet as a Numbers file for Mac or a PDF document, then email it to anyone. You can also upload it to iWork.com public beta so anyone on a Mac or PC can view your spreadsheet.

Easy file sharing.

Want to add files from your computer to your iPad? iTunes makes it easy. Just connect your iPad to your computer and add your files to the Apps pane in iTunes — whether they’re Numbers or Microsoft Excel files. And it works the other way around. In Numbers on your iPad, you can export your spreadsheet as a Numbers file or a PDF. When you connect your iPad to your Mac or PC, the files appear in iTunes. Then you can save them to your computer.

A touch of style.

Every Numbers spreadsheet starts out stunning, thanks to Apple-designed templates. Choose from 16 templates for home, work, and school, then make it your own.
