Auto populate fields in Numbers for iPad
Hi all,
I'm looking to set up a quotation sheet in Numbers on the iPad. I'd like to be able to get the fields to auto populate when a product code is entered. Is there anyway to do this in Numbers on the iPad or am I asking to much?
You can use the "Custom Calculation Script" in Acrobat. How to do (not so simple) form calculations by Thom Parker. Text field values can by accessed like a number in Acrobat with custom calculation script. The "+" operator is not only the additive operator but for string values is the concatenation operator.

I've been using numbers for iPad and I accidentally deleted a column. And the auto-save feature saved that and now I can't undo it. Does iCloud storage have backups of saved files from like 10 minutes ago? I have numbers synced to iCloud.
I tried to undo it but the app crashed.
I am hoping there's like a previously saved version of my file in iCloud somewhere.No, iOS does not do short term incremental back ups to iCloud such as you get with Time Capsule.It backs up when you do soo manually, or if set properly, when the device is plugged in and connected to WiFi. It will not have saved your changes as of 10 minutes prior.

there is no filter function in numbers for ipad,its very discouraging,as a ipad fan,even nokia lumia providing filter function in excel in there low cost mobile.
APPLE KINDLY PROVIDE THIS FEATURE AS UPDATE SOON,COZ I WORK ON EXCEL N NUMBERS IN MY IPAD IS DEAD WITH OUT FILTER FUNCTION,I CAN NOT TRAVEL WITH MY IPAD DUE TO THIS REASON,AS I HAVE TO BE IN FIELD WITH SALES FORCE SO I BOUGHT IPAD.Probably you know that the new version of Numbers for iOS uses the filters created in the Numbers for Mac version.
It's not the best solution but it helps (of course, if you have a Mac!) -
Where do I find basic instructions on Numbers for iPad?
I bought numbers for ipad to have a portable spreadsheet program to use in the field. I previously used HanDBase with my smart phone. I'm having problems with figuring out how to use numbers. For example, I entered two columns of numbers and wanted to calculate a correlation coefficient. I could enter the numbers and highlight them, bu I was unable to make the program apply the formula to those numbers.
Where can I find out how to use this program? It isn't intuitively obvious to me. Are there any books written on the subject?Bottlerocket,
When you open a spreadsheet on your iPad there is a Help File readily available under the Tool Menu (the wrench icon in the upper right) - it has a search option and can provide instructions to entering formulas on the iPad in Numbers.
Additional help can be found in two downloadable PDF files: Numbers '09 User Guide http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Numbers09_UserGuide.pdf and The Formula and Functions User Guide http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Formulas_and_Functions_User_Guide.pdf - both are for Numbers '09 for OSX but many of the principles are the same with iOS Numbers and OSX Numbers
Remember, too, that if you "dump" your iPad Numbers app (i.e., delete it from your iPad) any files created by it are also deleted - be sure you transfer any files you wish to keep before "dumping" Numbers. Personnaly, I think you will miss some of the real pleasures of using Numbers if you do, but Happy Computing to you. -
Mail Merge using data from Numbers for iPad
Here is my situation:
I use Numbers for iPad to collect data on-site when I'm doing estimates. I then download the data from iCloud to Numbers on my laptop and complete the estimates. I would then like to be able to merge the data into a proposal template I've created in Pages.
The issue seems to be that Numbers for iPad removes header rows but Pages won't accept a Numbers document as a merge source unless it has header rows.
Has anyone found a workaround for this?I was using Excel and Word for my small business. Then in 2007 I upgraded the whole office to Apple, began using Numbers for basic invoicing. Back then, the solution I found was to use CSV export to InDesign. A few days back I downloaded the 09 tryout and thought using mail merge would be easy.
I get the false populating too: I assume it comes from empty records, as they do not overwrite field names. Somehow I don't think I'm going to go through 2 years of accounting records to reformat my spreadsheet, just so Pages can correctly work with data that is in fact correctly formatted.
Also, there must be an option with the mail merge feature to choose which records I want to merge?!? The current solution (duplicating and erasing unwanted ones) is ridiculous, hiding unwanted rows in Numbers also doesn't work.
As most of the new features in iWork 09 are cosmetic, this one would have been a reason to use iWork as a real office suite. Pity - not really worth the update. -
Hi there.
I Need help with a problem I have.
I Have 2 spreadsheets on the same file on numbers for iPad. What I want to achieve is can I get data in say cell c12 to be auto fill on sheet 2 cell b18?
if this is possible how would I do this and what would the formula be.
Pease help.I have posted two pictures of my screen through Flickr here is the first screen shot
http://www.flickr.com/photos/50204668@N08/6938627557/
And the second
http://www.flickr.com/photos/50204668@N08/6792513356/
Basically what it looks like is that of the 11 columns that I have only 8 of them are showing up. The first column (book title) is "hiding" the other 3 columns below it. I have tried resizing all the columns do they are smaller and that doesn't work. What is odd is that when I view the same spreadsheet on my iPhone 4s all the. Olin's show up and work just fine. Hopefully the pictures work ok and someone would be able to help me.
Thanks again! -
How can I insert an image into a cell in Numbers for iPad?
Hi,
is there any way to insert an image inside a cell using Numbers for iPad? I tried doing it on desktop version and it works, then I shared it through iwork.com and downloaded into my iPad and it's showing fine on the iPad ( although there's no way to edit or change the image inside the cell ) but when I try to do the same task on iPad itself, the image always comes floating even if I place the cursor inside a cell before inserting.
any idea how to do it or if it's even possible?
thanks.
JohnImages can be added to cells only as "image fill." Cell fill is an attribute of the cell, not content of the cell. Only cell content can be retrieved by a formula or by copying the content of the cell.
Copying the cell will also copy its format, including the image fill, but I've found no way to extract the image from the cell.
Regards,

How do I add multiple rows in Numbers for iPad?
how do I add multiple rows in Numbers for iPad?
Hi James,
On the iPod I can only insert what is on the clipboard but I can insert however many rows I have there. Is it working differently for you? Benjoon seemed to think that he could not do this in Numbers. He was ruling Numbers out because of it. He doesn't need to do that because of this issue.
If I was needing to insert multiple blank rows often I might keep a table of blank rows or just some blank rows at the end of the working table that I could copy/paste. This is no different than Numbers on the Mac.

Adding trendline in Numbers for iPad
Can I add trendlines for my charts in Numbers for iPad?
Don't type the two letters "nu" but the three "ios" ones.
You will get two entries :
iMovie for iOS
and
iWork for iOS (which is ridiculous because this product doesn't exist).
Clicking on this late entry you will enter a community grouping questions upon the three apps.
Click the button "Refine this list" to restrict to Numbers.
I already asked the forum staff to change this odd behavior so that
typing nu offer Numbers 4 iOS
as well as Numbers 4 mac OS
And of course, same request for Keynote and Pages.
Wait and see.

Sort a row in Numbers for iPad
I have a list of names along the header row of a table in Numbers for iPad. I'd like to put them in alphabetical order from left to right. Bearing in mind that I'm a newby to apple, could anyone help? (If I were using MS excel I'd use sort data and set it row)
I have considered transposing the row to a column and I can sort a column, but the transpose command is proving tricky (Again if I were using MS Excel I would use paste special transpose.)Generally, you are more likely to get an answer if you post in the iWork for iOS forum at

Default cell format in Numbers for iPad
Is there a way to assure that when I insert a row in Numbers for iPad, that I get the text keyboard (and not the numbers keyboard) when I double-tap the cell to edit it?
As long as the row is formatted as text you will get the text keyboard and not the number, date or formula keyboard. Generally what happens when you insert a row it copies the format of the cell above.
I have only had trouble occasionally when using a form and the cell is not formatted the way I need it to be. Usually when that has happened I have been inserting and deleting rows in an almost random fashion.
When I am in the sheet itself it is easy to tap the "T" to get the text input.
