I'm trying really hard to embrace Numbers as my primary tool for developing data using spreadsheets. I publish a baseball history journal three times a year on paper, and I do all my own work. It can be a big job just wrestling with the enormous amount of data that's becoming available on ballplayers before 1960 which is my focus.
In the last week a handful of people from this site have encouraged me to keep using Numbers by their support and assistance. I want to capitalize on that energy by moving the discussion in a slightly different direction here.
As I continue to wade through the complexity of Numbers, I'm slowly getting accustomed to some of its quirks. But I find myself focusing on the things I DON"T like about it, and thought that instead of complaining about everything I find clumsy, I could say something about what I DO like about Numbers. I would invite each of you to do the same as you use this program.
I'll start this off by saying one thing I like about Numbers: I like the flexible use of color, especially for "fill" which I use as demarcation lines between entries.
And here's something I don't like: I don't like the window that appears when I want to perform a "sort" because the window then stays on screen waiting for me to cancel it by clicking its red light. The less mouse use the better.
OK, who's next?
