About Numbers

Numbers is Apple's spreadsheet application. It offers hundreds of built-in functions for formulas, categories that organize and summarize tables, and reusable custom templates. Finished spreadsheets can be converted to Microsoft Excel, CSV or PDF for sharing with people who do not use Apple software.

It runs on Mac, iPad and iPhone, and Numbers for iCloud lets you create and edit spreadsheets in a web browser. Apple also offers an Apple Creator Studio subscription that bundles its creative and productivity apps.
