Question

It would be great to have Treemap, Sunburst, Waterfall, Histogram, Pareto, and Box-and-Whiskers charts in Numbers

Read here: https://blogs.office.com/2015/07/02/introducing-new-and-modern-chart-types-now-a vailable-in-office-2016-preview/

It would be great if Numbers had treemap, sunburst, waterfall, histogram, pareto, and box-and-whisker charts, just like Office 2016 (for Windows). Note that Office 2016 (for Mac) don't have those charts and Mac users are forced to use either expensive programs or cumbersome programs to create such charts.

I would love to create charts pertaining to allocation of Toronto's budget using a treemap or sunburst chart for example.

Thank you.

This problem is two years old!

I am super surprised Apple hasn't fixed this yet?!

I'm taking an online course, and my text and online exercises all have Insert Treemap chart.

What is taking Apple so long?

And Numbers doesn't even have treemap or sunburst or any of the others in the opening question.

So, what is taking so long? Is it patented by Microsoft? That can't be, you can't patent formulas, can you?

Doesn't it seem like it should be Microsoft that offers these charts for Mac as well as for Windows?

You can also provide feedback to Apple for your Numbers suggestion here: Apple - Feedback

So why are you telling us? These are user to user forums. We don't work for Apple or MS so we can't add those features.

Yes, Microsoft Excel 2016 (for Windows only) has those features. When sent over to Microsoft Excel 2016 (for Mac), those features disappear. How would a Mac user be able to create Excel-compatible treemaps, sunburst diagrams, etc. easily without spending hundreds of dollars or complex software coding?

Yes, I have already made feedback to Apple as well.

Well, that was my point. The question really needs to be directed at Microsoft to find out why they put those features into their product for Windows, but why they didn't put them into the product for Mac. That is controlled completely by Microsoft....

Hi PT,

This is the Numbers for Mac forum (not Microsoft) and you have asked six questions.

treemap, sunburst, waterfall, histogram, pareto, and box-and-whisker charts,

Let's start with question 6.

Re: How to make stork table in Mac numbers

(The spelling is wrong. Not 'stork table'. Read 'stock table' or 'candlestick chart')

Try that, then we can try to answer the other five questions 🙂.

Regards,

Ian.
