How do I add a cell number to iMessage on iPad Air 2?

Wife bought me a iPad Air 2 with Wi-Fi + Cellular and it's own unique phone # for Christmas.
She bought it through her Verizon account.
It arrived today via FedEx. Opened it up. Turned it on. Did the initial set-up on it.
Problem is I accidently signed in using my Apple ID that I have for my iPhone.
After that, whenever I would get a text message on my iPhone it shows up on my iPad also...which I don't want.
I want to be able to use iMessage on the iPad and use it's own unique # that came with it.
So I did some reading and from what I found it sounds like you have to sign out of iMessage on the iPad and sign in with a "new" Apple ID that's attached to that new number.
That being said, I signed my iPhone's Apple ID out of my iPad on iCloud/FaceTime/iMessage.
Then I created a completely new Apple ID and assigned the new cellular # to that account on www.myappleID.com and saved it.
I then went back onto my iPad and signed into iCloud/FaceTime/iMessage with the new Apple ID that I'd created.
Now it only shows the email address associated with that Apple ID as the only 'Send & Receive' option...no phone number.
I then went back and confirmed that I'd saved the cell # change via myappleID.com, signed back out of Cloud/FaceTime/iMessage on the iPad and signed back in.
Still, not showing the cell # listed under 'Send & Receive' options for iMessage...and it's not showing me an option for adding the number either...at least that I can find.
So does anyone know how I can now add the Cellular Data Number that's already listed in General>About>Cellular Data Number to iMessage so that I can actually receive messages to that number that's assigned to the iPad?

The only way you can use a mobile number with iMessage on an iPad if it's associated with an Apple ID that is also associated with an iPhone. YO can then use the iPhone's mobile number. The mobile number on the iPad is for carrier billing purposes only. It cannot be used for messaging.

Sign out of iMessage on your iPad. Sign out on your iPhone. Sign back in on your iPhone. Once it's completely signed back in, sign back in on your iPad using the same Apple ID.

How do I add my phone number to iMessage on iPad

How do I add my phone number for my iPhone to my iPad for iMessage. On the settings on iMessage it only gives the options for an email. I have tried typing my mobile no in there but it doesn't accept it and there doesn't seem to be any other way to add it.
I was getting iMessages for my mobile number on my iPad until I recently logged out and then back into my apple ID. Now the mobile number has disappeared on my iPad for both FaceTime and iMessage.

Will not allow me to add my cell number to imessage

I am trying to add sons iPhone cell number to his iPad iMessage and it will not allow me

Your iMessage is likely still activating on your phone number. When you go to Settings > Messages at the top where the iMessage switch is does it say "waiting for activation" ? That sometimes takes up to 24 hours, which *****.

How do I change the mobile number re messages on iPad air

How do I chane the mobile number re messages on my new ipad air. It seems to be coming up with my husbands number ...

Are you using your husband's Apple ID from his iPhone?
Do you have an iPhone associated with your Apple ID?
To associate Messages on an iPad with a phone number you need to have an iPhone that has the Phone number so it can be associated with the Apple ID being used on both devices (iPhone and iPad).

I sort of was refering to both.
If you have a plan, it's just LTE, or wireless on the go.
Apple doesnt give you a phone number, thats the way they've been manufacturing iPads, just with Wireless plans.
Apple doesn't give out phone numbers or wireless plans. Only the cell carriers do that. While A Cell Plan for an iPad has a number its just for Identification purposes by the carrier, and cannot be used for Messages.
Also it is not necessarry to have a cellular iPad with a cellular plan to have a number for messages. As I said, you need an iPhone to do this.

Make sure that the iPad is using the same Apple ID as your iPhone. If the phone number still doesn't appear, log out of iMessage on both devices, log back in on the iPhone, wait until it activates, then log into iMessage on the iPad with the same Apple ID.

You need to log out of iMessage and Facetime, make sure your number is correct in Settings/General/About, then log back in again to send a new activation request.

How do you add multiple cells to the LARGE function?

I want to add several cells which are contained on different sheets and tables to the same LARGE function and select the first ranking cell value.
How do I add these cells as a single argument for this function?

"...and select the first ranking cell value."
Hi eobet,
If your actual goal is as stated, you could use MAX, which will accept a list, a range, or a list of ranges as arguments.
LARGE accepts only a single argument to establish the set of values, plus a single argument to establish the rank of the desired value. That means you need to collect all of the vlues into a sngle contiguous group/range, then specify that range as the set. The avantage, ofcourse, is that with LARGE, you can specify that you want the 'third largest' value in the set.
Here's an example.
The data set is column B on tables Data 1 and Data 2.
The set is collected into a single contiguous range on the table Aux (which may be hidden, or placed on a separate sheet).
LARGE collects the nth value from the collected set in Aux, using this formula in the table Summary:
A2, and filled down: =LARGE(Aux :: A:B,ROW()-1)
MAX returns the largest value from the original data set on Data 1 and Data 2, using this formula on the table Summary-1:
A2: =MAX(Data 1 :: B,Data 2 :: B)
Regards,
Barry
