Numbers for iOS

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. Add, resize, and apply styles to tables. And move everything around your canvas at will. You can even multitask as you work using the three new iOS 9 split-screen views on your iPad. Before you know it, you’ve turned budgeting into an art form.

Add some color. In precisely the shade you want.

Create custom colors on your iPad that are exactly the hue you want. Or choose from a wide selection of preset color options. Drag your finger to sample a color in your spreadsheet and apply it anywhere.

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 tables, images, and shapes anywhere. Bring up the camera without leaving the app, and instantly put your shots into the spreadsheet. Accurate rulers and 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 quickly style charts, images, shapes, cells, and text.

Do more with your iPad screen. Any way you slice it.

Multitasking is simple with the new iOS 9 split-screen views. Slide over your calendar to quickly check deadlines on your iPad. Follow a video conference using Picture in Picture or split your screen to copy sales numbers on your iPad Air 2, iPad mini 4, or iPad Pro. Now you have three ways to do two things at once.

Designed for simplicity

You’re a natural at math.

Starting with Numbers is as easy as 1, 2, 3. Multi-Touch gestures make controls feel natural. And you can connect a keyboard to your iPad to use time-saving shortcuts. An easy-to-use interface simplifies the equation of finding the tools you want. Smart Zoom on iPhone and iPod touch even automatically zooms in on cells when you edit them. Underneath it all, there’s an advanced calculation engine that makes full use of the 64‑bit architecture in iOS 9. So nothing will slow you down once you get going.

A shortcut to your shortcuts.

The new iOS 9 Shortcut Bar puts formatting tools right on your iPad keyboard so they’re always within easy reach while you type. And connecting a wireless keyboard lets you press Command, Option, and Control to enable handy keyboard shortcuts.

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 tap.

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.

Advanced tools

Become a mathemagician.

Numbers supports over 250 functions. And it’s built with sophisticated tools that make using them way simpler than you’d think. With a few taps, you can enter data, perform complex calculations, and sum up what it all means. Running the numbers is now a simple operation.

Formulas, solved.

The functions browser lets you search over 250 functions, see example formulas, and get help.
It’s really more like a formula genius.

Sort through your data and filter out the insights.

With just a few taps, you can sort a column in ascending or descending order. Turn filters on or off. Or hide or unhide rows or columns. By sifting out the data that isn’t critical, you can sort out what is.

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.

Interactive charts and graphs. With a flat learning curve.

Make your data tell a story with animated charts that you control. Just drag the slider to spotlight important changes in the numbers. It’s remarkably revealing. And strikingly simple.

Form notes into data. Fast.

Create attractive forms to keep track of data like gas mileage or customer information while you’re on the go. Link your form to a table, and Numbers automatically organizes the information into a spreadsheet.

What you see is what you print.

Print Preview lets you see just how your spreadsheet will print out. You can tap to auto-fit your sheet or drag a slider to scale it. You can even choose to print floating comments. When you tap Print, you know exactly what you’ll get.

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.

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.

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.

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.
