Custom number format killer in Numbers

Apple’s new Numbers software doesn’t support custom number formats. That means you can’t use a real value of 10,000,000 but display it as 10M. This is a deal-breaker for me. Hopefully, 1.1 will fix this missing feature. (I’d also like to see full AppleScript support. Heck, any AppleScript support!)

    Can’t believe they would miss something that important.

    I know it. It seems to be how they do some 1.0 releases. Aperture, for instance, had a huge makeover for its 1.5 release. There are ways around it of course (link to the table and divide by one thousand, for instance), but who wants to do that if you already have Excel?
