Love.. but wish for a few things:

I love working with Numbers.. however, there are a few features I really wish it would do. For instance, I wish that it would allow me to pick non-consecutive lines to highlight in order to apply an edit to it.. whether that edit is formatting, a rule, or a function… I would love the control that highlighting individual, non-consecutive lines to mass edit at once would make my life far easier. I have more than a few times considered buying Excel in order to have this feature for the time it would save me. I do love that I can make outline formatting inside of a cell. This has been vital for more than a few projects. Thank you for this amazing feature. My final complaint would be that the iPad app version will not allow me to adjust margins for printing.. and it would save me much time to adjust margins and or print lines for quick project prints…. But I am fully using Numbers 100% of the time and loving it but for these frustrations.

Numbers

Très pratique

Great interface for designers but formulae not visible?

I imported some data from a Sheets document, knowing there were more features available to me and its time I tried it. Like Conditional Colouring.
I couldn’t see the formulas anywhere. It took a bit of research to find out a) where the formulae are displayed, and b) how to edit formulae.
I may be wrong but the formulae were not imported. Disappointing.
Formulae do not display when you click on a cell. Sad.
It is TWO steps to display the formulae in any cell. What? Are the formulae not important?
Its as though they have forgotten that spreadsheets are a thinking and problem-solving tool — not a design tool.
I agree it looks lovely but that should come second.
The formula display is SO different it is disconcerting for a novice. Every software app needs to work for novices, after all, that is how you start… as a novice.
I love lots of other things about by iPad but cannot imagine I will still be using Numbers this time next week. It has lost its power as a problem-solving tool, imho.

I love Thais app

ITS so cool

Calculating

Would be great if selected cells give sums, averages etc like excel and Sheets.

Intuitif et compatible sur iPhone, iPad et MacBook

Ainsi, le fichier sur iCloud est modifiable sur chacun des 3 appareils et mis à jour simultanément. Fonctionne très bien sur iPhone pour le calcul d’addition de factures. Plus efficace qu’une calculatrice pour beaucoup de calculs de tous les jours. J’aime bien le copié-collé qui permet de copier un contenu d’un iPhone à un iPad, en exemple.

Great but…

Awesome for what I need, misses some features but I usually find out I did not need them anyway

Business owner

Great app but would like more options for styles of invoices

Excellent but with some unresolved issues

I am using Numbers extensively and generally lobe it, but! I am not able to design my own Forms - the one in the app is excessively limited and I don’t like it. Also, page margins on Numbers for Ipad is not adjustable, at least not to the extent I need it. I need as much data on one page as possible, not wide margins. Margins are a very basic editing tool and yet is not available for I-Pad. This is a very poor show!

So, Apple, please ensure that all Numbers app variations can adjust margins, and please allow us to design our own Forms!

Better than Excel/Sheets

For most every day tasks, I find Numbers far superior and more enjoyable to work with vs. Excel or Google Sheets… for one simple reason: The core of how Numbers works allows multiple independent tables to be on each sheet. This allows other objects (shapes, text, etc. to be on the page simultaneously, like a page layout program). But the true power shines from simply having independent tables that can be side-by-side referencing each other. In many ways, it can serve as a complement to Google Sheets and Excel because most formulas work cross-platform, so you can copy and paste tables between the different applications.
Brilliant, Apple!
