Safety notes

  • Numbers formulas aren't 100% compatible with Excel — round-trip conversions may yield #REF! errors.

Common mistakes

  • Exporting to xlsx flattens the freeform canvas; tables need re-layout afterwards.
  • For distribution, export to PDF or xlsx rather than shipping raw .numbers.
