Get started with Numbers on iPhone
Numbers makes it easy to create organized, professional-looking spreadsheets. Here’s how to get started.

Begin with a template
Creating a budget? Tracking your savings? Drafting an invoice? Numbers has templates outfitted with tables, charts, and formulas to help you get started. Go to the Numbers app
on your iPhone, tap Choose a Template (or
), then tap a template.


Change the look of your sheet
You can change the look of an object—like its fill color, border, shadow, and more. Tap an object to select it, then tap
to open the formatting controls. Each object has its own formatting options; when you select an image, for example, you see only controls for formatting images.

Work with formulas and functions
You can create simple or complex arithmetic formulas to perform calculations on the values in your tables. To open the formula keyboard, tap a cell, tap
at the bottom of the screen, then tap
above the keyboard on the right.

Export your spreadsheet
You can send a copy of your spreadsheet as a Numbers file or in another format, such as PDF, Excel, or CSV. Tap
in the toolbar, then tap Send Copy or Export and Send, which sends your spreadsheet in a format other than a Numbers file.
