Mac Numbers now supports LAMBDA functions and MAP

I genuinely enjoy using Numbers in a way that I just don’t with Excel. Probably more indicative of the level I’m using it at, but for me it fills the gap where I just want to do some quick manipulations of CSV data but not enough that it’s worth writing a script.

If I follow the link I am brought to extremely generic Apple support page with exactly zero indication that we are talking about the Numbers app.<p>How do you determine, from this support article, the scope where it applies?

I&#x27;ve used Numbers as my todo list for about a decade now. I&#x27;ve tried other things, but I&#x27;ve always come back to it. I have a table with:<p>* name<p>* priority<p>* DUE<p>* status<p>* notes<p>And a formula that sorts based on due &#x2F; priority. Typing &quot;done&quot; in status removes it with a filter.

I really wish Numbers was fully Excel compatible and I could get rid of this Microsoft spyware nonsense. I even bought WP Office, but even that tries to force you into their cloud drive.<p>I really wish there was a fully compatible Microsoft Office that I could use across my Apple devices that doesn’t shove some random cloud solution and end up with my files spread all over the place. I would pay more to have a OneDrive less office.

Numbers looks wonderful, but for deep business needs it has a LONG way to go before it is at all comparable. It is great they are adding functionality, but I am curious what market segment they think they are meeting?<p>We just broke down and bought a Windows based machine because MS Excel is so limited on a Mac that it was forcing our accountant into time wasting inefficiencies and general hair pulling.

I mostly don&#x27;t use Numbers for very much because it&#x27;s not easy to share and collaborate. Everyone has Excel. Everyone has Sheets. That said, I routinely use it as a first step in converting CSV and other text based delimited data. Open or paste into Numbers and it almost always does a perfect job of determining columns when Sheets and Excel choke.

Not caffeinated enough. I thought the title was referring to mac addresses and I was really wondering how that would work.

Do they have SPLIT and JOIN also? I have long wished for those in Excel

Just occurred to me that I&#x27;ve no idea what Numbers even looks like, because it&#x27;s always been hard blocked on my corporate MacBook.

All it&#x27;s missing is a constraint solver

I was briefly terrified this was Lambda in the AWS sense
