How do I delete cells in Numbers

Delete as in "delete the contents of"? Select the cell and hit Delete
Delete as in it goes away and other cells shift into its place? Not a feature of Numbers. You can delete an entire column or row but not a single cell. You can select surrounding cells and move them up or over one cell, thereby overwriting the cell to be "deleted".

How do i lock cells in numbers

How do I lock cells in Numbers? I'm trying to create a spread sheet that will have unused cells and I want to lock them so my associates don't accidentally fill them in and cause the finished product to look muddled.

Wayne,
I previously could lock tables in my Numbers tables in my Spreadsheets by tapping the top left corner and it would show up as an option to lock it. As of Numbers 2.0 (noticed today), I get the option to unlock tables, but not to relock them after making the corrections.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

How do I split cells in Numbers 3.2?

How do I split cells in Numbers 3.2?

Hey big one,
I don't believe you can split cells in Numbers 3.2. It has not been not considered a good practice because it can lead to trouble down the line. This is true about merging also. I used to do a lot of that in '09. What I have found that I can generally get the looks I am after (getting text to span multiple columns for instance) by turning off "wrap text in cell" and playing with the justification.
Hope this is in some way helpful.

How to print selected cells in numbers

Does anyone know how to print selected cells in a Numbers spreadsheet, rather than printing the entire sheet?
Also, how to save the selected cells as a pdf file without saving the irrelevant cells?

Hi nmygs,
How about this?
Cell A1 is a Pop-Up Menu containing names of the various "Departments"
Other cells contain formulas to find a match for whatever is chosen in A1 from the Very Big Data Table.

How do I delete duplicates in numbers

how do i delete duplicates in numbers

Hi Christy1776,
There are ways to do this with formulas and extra columns and such, but what I do is just make a simple menu pick:
Select the range of cells containing possible duplicates, make the menu pick, then paste the distinct (deduplicated) values wherever you want in a table by single-clicking a cell and typing command-v to paste.
You can add this to your Services menu by downloading a Copy Distinct Automator Service (Dropbox download) and double-clicking the workflow document to install. That's it. The functionality is then available whenever you need it via a simple menu pick. No formulas, no fuss.

Deleting cells in Numbers

I had finally gotten my NUMBERS table the way I wanted it when I noticed that I needed some rows between two entries. I'm a beginner, but I've learned how to add rows. Unfortunately, I've also learned how easy it is to get into trouble with NUMBERS. My table is using the "Blue Headers" style. The problem is that I somehow got one "Blue Headers" cell into a column where it doesn't belong, and it's causing problems, so I can't just ignore it. How do I remove it? I've tried highlighting it and pressing the DELETE button,but that doesn't work.

What happened is you copied a cell from a header and pasted it elsewhere into the table. It copied the contents of the cell including the formatting, just as it should. You can change the cell fill color and borders back to how they were (the procedures are covered in the User's Manual). Or you can select the table, go to the sidebar, click on the triangle to the right of "blue headers", and select "clear and apply style". This will clear all user-added formatting from the table and put it back to the template default.

How do I delete templates in Numbers?

I have several old templates saved in my numbers program and cannot figure out how to delete them. Help!

Hi medchanic,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. Your profile does not show your products, so I do not know if you are using Mac OSX or iDevice iOS operating systems. As this is the Numbers for OSX, I shall answer for OSX.
Numbers stores your custom templates in the My Templates folder. To find that folder, use the Go menu in Finder and hold down the option/aly key. Library will appear in the menu choices. Choose Library then navigate to:
Application Support > iWork > Numbers > Templates > My Templates
The path is shown at the bottom of my Library Folder window:
Click on an unwanted template and send it to the Trash.
I do not know why the operating system hides custom templates. After all, they are my templates!
Another way to control your custom templates is to open one in Numbers, change it, and then File > Save as Template... with the same name. That will replace the old template with the revised version.
Regards,
Ian.

How can I delete templates on numbers?

First visit to Apple Support Communities - I have downloaded data from financial institution which includes the date formated, for example, Nov 6, 2012 after the spread sheet is opened with Numbers. Using the inspector > cell > date > format "01/05/09 " , the cells in the spread sheet with the dates all become "01/05/09" . . . and not "11/06/12".
I am concerned that I have set up a bad templete dictating this erroneous result and would like to delete the templete. Please advise on this point.
Any other suggestions would be welcomed.

Hi papa T,
I doubt that a 'bad template' is the cause of this strange issue.
Leaving that aside, here is the path to deleting templates that you have created and saved:
Close Numbers. Go to the Finder.
In the Finder, press the option key, go to the Go menu and choose Library.
This puts you in your user Library—note that OS X maintains several Libraries, one for itself and one for each user account on the computer.
From your Library, open:
Application Support > iWork > Numbers > Templates > My Templates.
In My Templates, select one or more templates, then press command-delete to move the selected templates to the Trash.
Empty the Trash to permanently delete these templates (and anything else that has been moved to the Trash).
Regards,
Barry

How can I split cells in Numbers 3.0.1

I cannot find the cell split option on the latest version on Numbers - can anyone point me in the right direction - thank you

Hi Nick,
Got it. The purer "spreadsheet way" to avoid duplication of data would be to record commissions in a separate table, and extract the sums corresponding to each "heading" with a formula, something like this:
The formula in D2, copy pasted down, is:
=SUMIF(Commissions::$A,$A2,Commissions::$C)
This says, add up everything in column C of the Commissions table where the value in column A of the Commissions table is the same as the value in column A of this row.
This takes a one-time setup (and you have to make sure the values in column A of both tables are consistent) but thereafter there are advantages. Among them, you can sort and filter your transactions or your commissions to get different views.
Splitting and merging cells in spreadsheets generally spells trouble, even in Numbers 2.3, though it sounds as if you've been lucky.

How do I take cell phone numbers off of my iCloud account.

I have all of my devices under the same accounts, both itunes and icloud. I originally used the smae itunes account on all my family member devices so that we could share all of our purchases. And the same cloud account so that we can share calanders and photostream(which has been very useful). But now Im finding out that I can select my wifes or daughters phone number and receive their imessages on my phone, or my ipad, air etc... I dont want to be tempted to read their messages and I certainly dont want them reading mine. Is there any way to manage my icloud addresses and pull our cellular numbers off the list so that no one can read each others messages. Ive been reading many similar posts on this forum but am surprised to find that no one else has the same problem.

iMessage is separate from your iCloud account and does not use or even require an iCloud account. To avoid getting each others text messages, just have everyone use a different Apple ID for iMessage (it doesn't need to be the same as thier iCloud ID). Have your other family members go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive on their devices, tap the ID, sign out, then sign in with separate IDs to keep everyone's text messages separated. To avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls, have them do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

How can I format cells in numbers to display swim times?

I need to list swim times in a numbers spread sheet. Swim times are listed as 2:17.75, meaning 2 minutes, 17 seconds and 75 hundreths of a second. Numbers automatically changes this to 2 m 17s and 750mm, or 2 h 18m 15s. I have tried to make a custom format, but nothing seems to work. Can I override all formating and just type what I want to?
Thanks
