Although Pages will support tables, it is a word processing application and Apple offers the free Numbers v11.2 from the Mac App Store that is a proper spreadsheet application. Neither of these applications is a clone of its Microsoft counterpart but will open and translate the Word or Excel content to the Apple document format (.pages, .numbers). Features unique to Microsoft applications may not be translated correctly or at all.


Unlike Microsoft application design, Pages cannot embed a Numbers spreadsheet and automatically update that content with changes to the Numbers spreadsheet.
