Not finding facilities in Numbers

Question

I do not find some facilities existing in Excel:
-replace values or correct formulas within selected cells and not the entire spreadsheet
-Freeze titels over more than 5 rows and simply by dragging a handle
-define links between spreadsheets in order to import data
Are those facilities available in Iwork?
Many thanks

I already tried out you suggestion, but this is really not the same as freezing the titles.
Are you assuming that I am unable to make the difference ?
I do not believe that allowing more than 5 rows is a great software intervention, and i do not understand why this limitation is existing.
Perhaps because you don't know the internals of the application.
It's funny to see how many guys feel that they are more knowledgeable than Apple Engineers.
Maybe giving what you ask for would require a simple change in a test and maybe it will never be available.
Designing a good application is not stacking more and more features asked here and there.
Please, let this concept for M…Soft.

*Apple Human Interface Guidelines:*
+Apply the 80 Percent Solution+
+During the design process, if you discover problems with your product design, you might consider applying the 80 percent solution‚ that is, designing your software to meet the needs of at least 80 percent of your users. This type of design typically favors simpler, more elegant approaches to problems.+
+If you try to design for the 20 percent of your target audience who are power users, your design may not be usable by the other 80 percent of users. Even though that smaller group of power users is likely to have good ideas for features, the majority of your user base may not think in the same way. Involving a broad range of users in your design process can help you find the 80 percent solution.+

On the other hand i am not seeing this point as a vital one.
Fine, you are playing safety
Linking several documents to each other is in my opinion more important.
I agree.
_Go to "Provide Numbers Feedback" in the "Numbers" menu_, describe what you wish.
Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'11
Don't worry, i still believe Numbers is a good product.
Don't worry, if I was worrying each time I read this kind of advice, I would be hanged to a rope.
