What’s new in Numbers on Mac
Find the right words with Writing Tools. If you have a Mac with M1 or later, you can use Writing Tools with Apple Intelligence to summarise selected text with a click, proofread your work, and create different versions of the same text to help you find the right wording and tone. You can also use ChatGPT with Writing Tools to compose and refine text. See Add text.
Get creative with Image Playground. If you have a Mac with M1 or later, you can use Image Playground with Apple Intelligence to create fun, original images based on a description and suggested concepts. You can also easily adjust the style and make changes to match text on a spreadsheet. See Add an image.
Add depth and realism with 3D objects. Add and edit 3D objects that simulate natural lighting, shading and texture effects. You can add 3D objects created with 3D software or 3D scanning in the USDA, USDC and USDZ file formats. After you add a 3D object to your spreadsheet, you can resize it, play its embedded animation, and rotate it along its x-, y- and z-axes. See Add 3D objects.
Sort and analyse values and text. Compare values and combine text with new functions, including BITAND, BITOR, BITXOR, BITSHIFT, ISOWEEKNUM, CONCAT, TEXTJOIN and SWITCH. See the Formula and Functions user guide.
Share a spreadsheet. Quickly share and export your Numbers spreadsheet in a different format straight from the Share menu. You can send a copy of a spreadsheet using AirDrop, Mail, Messages or another service. You can also send a copy in another format, such as PDF, Microsoft Excel, CSV, TSV and more. See Send a spreadsheet.
SVG images. Add Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG) images to your spreadsheet and preserve visual quality at any size. You can break apart imported SVG images into shapes, edit and combine them like other shapes, and save them to your shapes library to use later. See Add an image and Combine or break apart shapes.
Accelerate your workflow. Use Quick filters and Pivot tables for swift data analysis. Quick filters easily show or hide rows that match a specific value so you can rapidly sort results. With Pivot tables, you can compare multiple variables and develop summary reports. See Create a pivot table and Filter data.
