Apple Numbers Spreadsheet Model Design
Apple Numbers is often overlooked as a serious business tool, yet it offers a unique way to visualise complex logic. I design spreadsheets that translate raw data into clear, actionable business intelligence. Whether creating new models or reworking legacy files, my focus is on accuracy, integrity and ease of use.
- Reverse Engineering: I audit and rebuild legacy and outdated spreadsheets to align with current business practices, identifying and fixing long-standing calculation errors or "bugs" in the process.
- Operational Modelling: Custom-built tools for capacity planning, cash flow analysis, and cost modelling provide a precise view of your business's financial and physical resources.
- Data Visualisation: I leverage the canvas-based design of Numbers to create graphical models that expose how variables interact, making it clear how they affect performance.
- Decision Support: By turning abstract numbers into intuitive visual layouts, I help stakeholders see exactly how model changes impact profitability.
