Funny that the new edition of iWork (iWork 2008) includes Numbers - a spreadsheet program. For years, as I work in Excel vX, and it crashes, like it does so frequently, I always put comments to Apple engineers in the crash report (which sends programming details about the crash to Apple) asking when Apple was going to release their own spreadsheet program.
Apple - iWork - Numbers - New in Numbers ’08:
Introducing Numbers ’08, the spreadsheet you’ve been waiting for — and already know how to use. Innovative, powerful, and intuitive, Numbers ’08 lets you do everything from setting up your family budget to completing a lab report to creating detailed financial documents.
Oh, I'm buying it, in fact I already did. I'm excited about the so-called 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.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.
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.
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.
Because Numbers lists every sheet, table, and chart as an outline in the Sheets pane, it’s easy to swiftly navigate through your document.
