Hey that's a good question.

I use Excel a fair bit over the years but no it won't do a number line.

You can make a graph with the x axis printed out and a short y axis of 1 unit or less, and then maybe put blocks of color/ and a text box on top of the x axis to make it 'look' like a number line. Then put little arrows in a text box on the ends.

But if you're in school, it may be easier to just use graph paper for number lines at this point because modifying excel to make it look right will take longer. If you're at work, the boss gives you all night to work on it too...at home.

.....A number line, invented by John Wallis, is a one-dimensional picture in which the integers are shown as specially-marked points evenly spaced on a line. Although this image only shows the integers from -9 to 9, the line includes all real numbers, continuing ''forever'' in each direction. It is often used as an aid in teaching simple addition or subtraction, especially involving negative numbers
