Pages '09 features an improved Quick Look preview that displays a page-thumbnail alongside a full-page image All in, Numbers '09 is a smart upgrade that adds a number of the features missing from the debut version but still manages to stay relevant to home and small-business users. There's far better formula editing, and also a searchable index of formulae used in a particular spreadsheet too that makes managing (and finding) forumulae on a spreadsheet far easier.

Table Categories may be the big new feature, but there's some new additions elsewhere in the application, including support for far more formulae than before – 262 if you're curious. You're not limited to one category, though and can keep adding or re-ordering categories and sub-categories to you liking. You simply right-click the relevant column you want to sort by, and choose the "Categorise by this Column" option. A far more user-friendly take on pivot tables, known as Table Categories, makes it really easy to take flat-data tables and better organise them.įor users intimidated by Microsoft Excel's pivot-table wizard (and I'll include myself there), Apple's reworking is a breath of fresh air. Numbers receives a wealth of feature updates this time around.
